ONE DAY / ONE FRAME is a long-term photographic practice structured around a strict daily decision: one image selected and fixed each day. Developed within the peripheral environment of a small Northern European town, the project explores how repetition and sustained attention transform perception. Most days nothing remarkable happens. Yet through time, ordinary spaces reveal hidden layers of presence, memory, light, and human traces. The photographs presented here are fragments of an ongoing daily observation. The work is less about events than about learning to see.

I am a Latvian photographer based in Al?ksne, a small town on the northeastern border of Europe. My work explores silence, perception, and the unnoticed dimensions of everyday life. Working between poetic documentary and observational photography, I am drawn to subtle traces of human presence, fragile relationships between people and space, and the ways attention transforms ordinary reality. Through long-term projects and sustained observation, I investigate how repetition, time, and place shape both memory and perception.
