I work with photography as a daily practice of sensing and moving through the world. My images emerge from close encounters with everyday environments: the people I meet, the trains I take, the urban paths I walk at night, the coastlines that pull me in. I photograph as a way of staying present with the textures of the ordinary, while attending to the emotional and atmospheric conditions that shape perception.

Born in Lithuania during decades of transformation, I’ve developed a way of seeing that is sensitive to change and connection. My background in medical anthropology informs how I approach embodiment and relational experience. I’m especially drawn to altered states like insomnia and irregular bodily rhythms, conditions that shape how we perceive time and participate in the world. These experiences have made me sensitive to patterns that fall outside normative cycles, deepening my interest in female and reproductive health. From this place, I’ve become increasingly drawn to the cyclical rhythms of other forms of life, like seaweed, rocks, and coastal landscapes and the slower, layered temporalities they hold. My work often moves between these inner and outer cycles, observing how we live in relation to elemental forces and ecological time. 

My process is intuitive and somatic. I don’t plan my images; I respond to movement, light, temperature, and energy as they arise. I'm drawn to moments where boundaries dissolve; between people and place, between stillness and motion, between human and more-than-human.

I also work with experimental materials like wax, video, and fragments of text. These elements extend the sensorial space of the image, without seeking to explain it. My work moves between documenting lived experience and sensing the metaphors that arise through it - fluid, quiet, and often unresolved.
