Over time, I document myself performing nude poses that mirror Pagan symbols such as waxing and waning moon as well as the ancient figurines found throughout Eastern Europe - specifically from the Paleolithic Age that resemble mythological women such as the Spiral Goddess, Earth Mother, and others. Through the use of risograph printing, I reproduce these images of my body into collages, adapting traditional Lithuanian textiles and decorative symbols in the process. These documentations also exist independently as black and white photos.
