Woman Named Gaida

An attempt to capture the feeling of emptiness and nostalgia, reflecting it as reality in the Latvian rural landscape, partly from the observer's position, but also questioningly - what is the future of these rural areas? What is the relationship of contemporary society in Latvia with the Soviet legacy? Does it have a place to survive today and in the future, or were the materials, structures and philosophy used in Soviet times not sustainable enough to remain as witnesses to the history our country has experienced? This work is the author's personal observations of people who have remained in the countryside and possibly still live in the past or even idealize the past, and is therefore, without condemnation, a tribute to them.

Let Go

In life there are times we need to "let go" with love in order to "hold on" to life. Jodee's poem and drawing were inspired at the Arts & Healing Resiliency Center's January 7, 2024 workshop, "Letting Go & Holding On for Hope, Healing, & Resilience in the New Year." This workshop is part of the Hold On Campaign for Suicide Prevention's expressive arts outreach to connect, express, and heal. The animation "Let Go" is by the very talented and compassionate media designer Lucia Martinez Rojas. For more information on the Hold On Campaign's services including presentations, workshops, mentoring, and internationally award winning songs and short films, please see www.holdoncampaign.org.

Uncensored Lilac

A group of goddesses and their assembly of familiars, pets, servants, and technologies are lounging. Separated from one another, they share a land but not a common ground. They have been invaded. They are pretty, hot, bothered, and bored. They are ready to destroy each other. They look deep into the camera and recite their deepest wishes, hopes, dreams, and fantasies. Meanwhile, temperatures are rising. They morph and grow and make their rage known. Quick to anger, their tempers rise with the heat.

Aquarium

While a roaring storm is wreaking havoc at sea, a lonely young sailor sits by the fire of a nightly harbor tavern. Outside, screeching seagulls are devouring a cadaver, possibly still warm. The sailor is unwell. Believe it or not, the young man had never eaten fish before until this very night. There seemed to be nothing else on the menu, so why not? In the midst of various strange companions and spectators, he starts to reminisce about home while cutting up his dinner. With an empty table as his only friend the young sailor might start losing grip of reality.
