In 2025, she graduated from the Vilnius Academy of Arts with a bachelor's degree in graphic design. Since then, she has been actively participating in exhibitions and residencies, and plans to continue her studies at the master's level. In her work, she defines herself as an interdisciplinary artist working in various media. She explores themes of identity, connection to place, and personal experiences, seeking to convey them in a more universal, objective form.

The idea of the work:

Two works from the project "Fragmented Identity" are presented - Completely Empty and Nida's Flow. They explore mixed cultural identity both through the idea and the chosen performance technique.

The first piece is a vessel created from an aquatint engraving plate, the second is a textile object made using the cyanotype technique. Both works are based on the ornamentation of different cultures related to the author’s personal experience: Lithuanian, Pakistani, British and Indian. The ornaments used come from real objects – for example, a mid-20th century tablecloth was used for the Lithuanian motif, while Pakistani patterns were taken from family textiles. These elements are combined with the author’s individual drawing style, which creates a coherent but fragmented visual identity.
