Escaping to the Surface III, 2025
Tiffany Stained Glass
The project rethinks the relationship with urban space by observing the transformation of a part of Vilnius’s Old Town—from a somewhat chaotic childhood environment to a representative yet distant area of the city. It reveals subtle, personal connections to places as they persist in memories and experiences. The project raises questions about the sensory, childhood-formed human bond with the environment, as well as the layered nature of space and place and their changing dynamics. The work is composed of three parts: four photographs, a video loop, and a Tiffany 3D stained glass piece. The sculpture replicates the shape of a skylight located in the stairwell of an apartment building. I first entered that stairwell during my childhood, and for some time, I remembered it as being filled with vivid colours. It feels as though what stayed with me most was the object’s aura rather than its physical appearance. In reality, the skylight is made of plain glass. With this piece, I raise questions about memory and imagination, as well as experience and the impulses behind creation.
