These are plant simulations that are created from flower petals, multiple exposure and mirror reflection, which is captured by choosing a certain shooting point. Reality combined with illusion - this could be the plants of the future. Maybe humanity will create them from leftover plant parts and a digital image? Flowers of fantastic beauty, as if beautifying our guilt-free reality. The guilt that a part of nature is not preserved sinks into an unrealistic illusory beauty. It is easy to get lost in this fantastical beauty, and the actual reality is less painful and confusing.
In 2005, I graduated from photo and media studies at the Vilnius Academy of Arts. Since then, I have participated in various joint and personal exhibitions. Since 2007, I have been working at Vilnius College and teaching photography. Photographing plants is a new hobby of mine that was born during the pandemic. Plants became close to me because they were my creative material during that period. While photographing plants, I began to think more and more about their position in today's world. And Macro photography gave me a wide field of exploration.
