Light, Fossil, Trace. Imprints, 2025
modelling clay, etching
Light, Fossil, Trace is a site-specific installation that explores graphic art imprints found in everyday life. The work unfolds in three parts: Light, Fossil, and Trace. Light traces the sun’s journey across walls and floors. It takes eight minutes and 17 seconds for sunlight to reach us—a voyage of one hundred million kilometers. Light is a remnant of life itself, constantly entering our spaces and bodies. Our surroundings, touched by both sunlight and human hands, hold traces of time, memory, and existence. Fossils are imprints pressed into modeling clay from everyday objects. Like us, these objects carry stories stretching back to origins too vast to fully grasp. Once treasured and shelved, then discarded or recycled, they embody cycles of decay and renewal. By documenting their surfaces, I reveal a shared legacy linking culture, archaeology, family, and time. These imprints form graphic-like matrices, hinting at the potential for restoration and transformation. Traces explore immaterial marks—thoughts, memories, and events engraved within us. Covering windows with fragments of memory turns panes into pages of a living book. Each mark captures fleeting moments, archiving personal memories while evoking universal impressions of diaries or notes. The emulsion on the glass traps light and time, slowly fading the text’s edges, dissolving clear contours, and embodying memory’s fragile, ephemeral nature. The work was presented in the Vilnius Academy of Arts Graduation Show 2025.
