Touch

Theme of the exhibition is the story of a Latvian girl who has gone to Britain, accepted Islam and got married. The two sculptures both represent the moment when a young woman participates in a party in Ziepniekkalns (area in Riga) two years before going to Britain. One is representation of the woman herself, the other - woman's experience.

The artists talks of a Western person who is scared of the scope of freedom and too many choices – his choice is escape within a system that strictly determines and regulates the way of life. Through the sculptures artist illustrates the critical point, the fracture that represents an extreme tension of the structure, followed by radical changes.
