I imagine how the village’s greatest secrets were once shared on this veranda. Drinking tea together and laughing were part of that moment. Back then, those stories stayed between the veranda walls, but I believe that whispered secrets and echoes of laughter can begin to shine again over time., 2025

The choice of topic comes from my personal experience of rural life—moving from the city to the countryside and living in a rural house. In the work, I compare newly developed residential areas near the border of Tartu city with traditional farmhouses located about 30 kilometres away. I explain why these old farm buildings are meaningful to me and why I chose to represent them in my artistic practice. This exhibition dealt with a deeply personal theme — my sense of home and living environment. The process of creating the exhibition works had a significant impact on the development of my artistic style. I intend to continue working in a similar style and further develop the light painting technique in my future creative projects.
