Madara Kv膿pa: The Sea is Silent, Yet I Return
Over a prolonged period of returning to familiar sites along the Baltic Sea coast, the artist documents her encounters with pine trees, stones, wind, tides, algae, and sand through analogue photography and diary entries. In these moments of connection, she not only feels the presence of nature, but also seeks to understand: what is it like to be a stone, or be a tree? Time and slow return become both a form of expression and a method of artistic research. Kv膿pa asks: "Is empathy for nature something we can train?"
The exhibition addresses the impact of climate change on Latvia鈥檚 coastal landscape 鈥� a vital part of our collective memory and identity. Closeness to nature offers solace and shelter, while also serving as a reminder of our responsibility and deep interconnection with the environment.
