Ona Grigaitė | Sunset  29.4.2020-30.5.2020

Sunset. That word usually arouses sweet images. Last warm sunbeams are melting like a good candy in the mouth. We are waiting for the last sunbeam, as a hopeful promise of tomorrow. And what if tomorrow won't be so hopeful, if the sunset is just a loss, an ending? The candy is falling out of the mouth.

Don't let the image of girls swimming in the red water mislead you. It's not illuminated by the sunset. Actually, the image is recreated Chinese drawing how Chinese are portraying hell. Tireless embellishment, improvement, renewal, setting new goals and aim to accomplish them is somebody's desired everyday (if we would apply portrayal clichés - illuminated by sunbeams), and someone else's eternal stress, nightmare, hell.

Every day, every minute we lose something irreversibly, we regret, grieve because of that. We create our inner hell: imprisoning ideas, intrusive thoughts, visions, feelings. It's nice for those who manage to transform that burning feeling into creative force. For the others is only left to poison others or at least themselves.

Welcome.
