"Fake Memories" exhibition by Laima Steika

The exhibition "Fake Memories" by young Jūrmalas artist Laima Steika is an attempt to draw the viewer into a kind of twilight mood - at dusk, before the street lights come on, when nothing is clearly visible, when the rational and pragmatic recede, the mythical and spiritual come into play. False memories are an interesting phenomenon, when the mind, using imagination, knowledge, and associations, fills in the "gaps" in memories. The smoky watercolors were created in a similar way, allowing the flow of apparent memories and associations.
