About
Glass jars filled with algae-based "tears" and a range of flavors offer a sensory reflection of Gudrita's identities. Each flavor serves as a fragment of the artist's own experiences, such as personal and collective traumas, tangibly shared with visitors during tastings.
The art pieces explore identity and belonging through a rural Lithuanian lens. Tiny glass jars evoke ancient Roman lachrymatory tear bottles, contrasting with traditional preservation methods.
In the distance, delicate fluttering of the silk, with its hues, draws the eye but hints at a deeper, unsettling truth as one draws nearer. This interplay reflects themes of neglect and preservation, inviting contemplation on the choices we make about what to shield and what to let drift away.
Visitors were invited to savor the "tears."
