Jurate’s Girdvaini’s art explores her reflections on the fast-paced, overcrowded contemporary world, where she herself seeks moments of peace and quiet. While she stays attuned to contemporary culture, the impact of social media, and consumerism, her work deliberately steps back from this chaos, offering a space of calm and contemplatio.
A central technique in Jurate’s Girdvaini’s work is the repetition and reinterpretation of the same image. By redrawing or reimagining the same objects multiple times, she uncovers new layers of meaning. Her works use imagery as a therapeutic tool, encouraging the viewer to be fully present in the moment.
During WAP25 she focused on text as walking experience by writing and sharing texts while walking having supportive images placed out or interacting with specific sites.
