INTENTION, 2021
digital print on paper
This work was exhibited at my solo-exhibition “Whole” during Art Festival Cesis, Latvia, summer of 2021. The inspiration for this series was born in the dark shadow cast on to us by the global pandemic. Since the moment it began, I noticed that our lives had changed based on a huge emphasis on physical health, consequentially leaving behind concerns about our mental health. Since no one could help me with the increasing hopelessness of all the canceled plans and exhibitions of the pandemic, I decided to take my mental health matters into my own hands. I engaged in several ancient healing rituals, which later came to be the source of inspiration for a series of artworks. I was inspired by ancient latvian healing traditions that talk about the importance of intention. I practiced intentional crawling through a large cavity of a tree trunk, that symbolizes a symbolic rebirth through a mother’s womb/being reborn in new health.
