Creating my artwork I wanted to ask the viewer<br />
”Don’t you feel it like me? No matter<br />
how noble <strong>and</strong> beautiful human thoughts<br />
<strong>and</strong> deeds are, if they become similar <strong>and</strong><br />
even uniform, at the end it turns out to be a<br />
bit scaring.<br />
The artwork was envisaged to be light <strong>and</strong> aesthetic<br />
in form. But its essence is complicated –<br />
<strong>European</strong>.<br />
The artwork is created by the financial support<br />
of the Latvian Culture Capital Foundation.<br />
