It will never be over, 2025

Oil on canvas

This work is part of a project called Tangles of Longing, in which I was interrogating my relationship to my childhood home, my urge to come back and live there, and my inability to do so. During the two years of my master’s studies, I kept a diary in which I wrote about my emotional state regarding the physical state of my home, and I was also reluctantly visiting my home and bringing little pieces of the thicket creeper growing there back to Vilnius, trying to keep it alive in order to satisfy my nostalgia and, hopefully, alleviate my avoidant longing.
