The stories are built drawing on memories of those close to me and fragments of stories heard from afar, tracing shared experiences of the desire to connect and understand one another. Translating these narratives into sculptural and textile objects and installations, I explore communication across generations, ideological regimes, linguistic registers, and time zones; between presence and absence, earth and sky. 2026 <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080"

costume designer that directly sustains my artistic practice. I wove replicas of IKEA’s heavy-duty Dimpa bags as both a playful gesture and an homage to how these two creative worlds nourish each other. Woven from linen using a durable ripstop structure—the same used in military textiles and the original bags—they sit at the intersection of folklore and gorpcore. Each hand-dyed bag serves as a vibrant vessel for the stories carried from one film set to the next. 2025 <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/72edda2497ef10eef4a02c2036a3c8e38b29b3dd88c72b9792d0e8a9eb77e66e/IMG_7303.JPG" data-mid="253373778" border="0" data-scale="69" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/72edda2497ef10eef4a02c2036a3c8e38b29b3dd88c72b9792d0e8a9eb77e66e/IMG_7303.JPG" /> <img width="5760" height="3840" width_o="5760" height_o="3840" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6adb28343989e4a7d7ccb51fd4801567d861aba58999a1382bc793519348485d/2-The-Gearwheel--Hardworking-Hands--and-the-Tired-Exhibition-Visitor_Morta-Jonynaite.jpeg" data-mid="239961011" border="0" data-scale="68" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6adb28343989e4a7d7ccb51fd4801567d861aba58999a1382bc793519348485d/2-The-Gearwheel--Hardworking-Hands--and-the-Tired-Exhibition-Visitor_Morta-Jonynaite.jpeg" /> <img width="3840" height="5760" width_o="3840" height_o="5760" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e3b5f7ad1f67edf14ea0b17995595187e2c15987d60afb9c022be95fbc586ea9/3-he-Gearwheel--Hardworking-Hands--and-the-Tired-Exhibition-Visitor_Morta-Jonynaite.jpeg" data-mid="239961012" border="0" data-scale="52" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e3b5f7ad1f67edf14ea0b17995595187e2c15987d60afb9c022be95fbc586ea9/3-he-Gearwheel--Hardworking-Hands--and-the-Tired-Exhibition-Visitor_Morta-Jonynaite.jpeg" /> <img width="3840" height="5760" width_o="3840" height_o="5760" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/68860b42d9d7d5495e88551a9194e34ce4c8a9bb9cdd0efccee8e328782f8bf3/14-he-Gearwheel--Hardworking-Hands--and-the-Tired-Exhibition-Visitor_Morta-Jonynaite.jpeg" data-mid="239961013" border="0" data-scale="52" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/68860b42d9d7d5495e88551a9194e34ce4c8a9bb9cdd0efccee8e328782f8bf3/14-he-Gearwheel--Hardworking-Hands--and-the-Tired-Exhibition-Visitor_Morta-Jonynaite.jpeg" /> Images by Editorial https://mortajonynaite.com/Light-Rain-with-Big-Drops Thu, 19 Dec 2024 10:26:57 +0000 Morta Jonynaite https://mortajonynaite.com/Light-Rain-with-Big-Drops Light Rain with Big Drops This series was created while reflecting on personal and collective memory. Although memory is often heavily politicized, I was interested in exploring it as a kind of abstraction. Like a photographic chemical, it constantly sharpens images in our minds that resemble the truth but never fully become it. Drawing from my own experiences and various hearsay, I crafted a narrative that incorporates many different voices, captured in the archaic language of weaving. 2024 <img width="4470" height="3353"

inspired by Lithuanian folk traditions. In the past, towels on hand-carved towel racks were representative of the family – the piece of fabric, which came with the bride’s dowry, was like an altar piece, reflecting the sacred nature of marriage. Nowadays, it would be farfetched to relate a towel drying on a ladder heater to anything other than its primary function, i.e. the constant cycle of wiping and drying. The notion of the family is also changing: it is no longer a silent, finite fabric but a constantly evolving, fluid organism. 2023 <img width="2480" height="3308" width_o="2480" height_o="3308" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bd41a32b4635205d47bf2b73b00c8c50d9916d619ab54ad0c56a3b6e6e9e86d8/ranksluostis.jpg" data-mid="171885174" border="0" data-scale="49" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bd41a32b4635205d47bf2b73b00c8c50d9916d619ab54ad0c56a3b6e6e9e86d8/ranksluostis.jpg" /> M J a towel from the dowry of a young woman building a life with her partner. <img width="1366" height="2048" width_o="1366" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4e9eb597f8bb926fae97f4b73c48d482c4eead08055dc9500151d5b6ad12e14d/_VM04898.jpg" data-mid="171881456" border="0" data-scale="79" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4e9eb597f8bb926fae97f4b73c48d482c4eead08055dc9500151d5b6ad12e14d/_VM04898.jpg" /> <img width="1365" height="2048" width_o="1365" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f56dfbe8f989f5020b7a35a5431054c9d6ae42796c1b7706992eb6bdeac84601/_VM04901.jpg" data-mid="171881498" border="0" data-scale="80" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f56dfbe8f989f5020b7a35a5431054c9d6ae42796c1b7706992eb6bdeac84601/_VM04901.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1366" width_o="2048" height_o="1366" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e61ac905ba5ef045d9842ea2b1cdae4fb454e8797856ce20856d674c738f076d/_VM04910.jpg" data-mid="171881568" border="0" data-scale="88" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e61ac905ba5ef045d9842ea2b1cdae4fb454e8797856ce20856d674c738f076d/_VM04910.jpg" /><img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/550cdab6636cacb18bba8de7c149a2ce2938b7fcde6b8cd04f43072fc8850392/_VM04906.jpg" data-mid="171881539" border="0" data-scale="88" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/550cdab6636cacb18bba8de7c149a2ce2938b7fcde6b8cd04f43072fc8850392/_VM04906.jpg" /> K + R a towel for a mother raising a son with disability. <img width="1365" height="2048" width_o="1365" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b9f3a242d3e0ac1cfdaf4840a8618a8e88b4c39e1ac95df69fa7f8e6eb25adae/_VM04978.jpg" data-mid="171881622" border="0" data-scale="82" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b9f3a242d3e0ac1cfdaf4840a8618a8e88b4c39e1ac95df69fa7f8e6eb25adae/_VM04978.jpg" /> <img width="1365" height="2048" width_o="1365" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3c49b839ba27afd4bde2811e650ef5e1628a864e6a1aa47d57852418f6c39054/_VM04980.jpg" data-mid="171881742" border="0" data-scale="82" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3c49b839ba27afd4bde2811e650ef5e1628a864e6a1aa47d57852418f6c39054/_VM04980.jpg" /> <img width="1365" height="2048" width_o="1365" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/43e64e5be1d987a78b92f71bf202ea9c15abf8a94a0a2b8abe5e05aefddbb011/_VM04982.jpg" data-mid="171881747" border="0" data-scale="83" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/43e64e5be1d987a78b92f71bf202ea9c15abf8a94a0a2b8abe5e05aefddbb011/_VM04982.jpg" /> B + J a towel for two women being denied legal recognition of their family. <img width="1368" height="2048" width_o="1368" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/294f9bea3d49963d88b1264910218ef0ad3a1ac65349823a81d6881581abe0aa/_VM05036.jpg" data-mid="171881827" border="0" data-scale="78" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/294f9bea3d49963d88b1264910218ef0ad3a1ac65349823a81d6881581abe0aa/_VM05036.jpg" /> <img width="1365" height="2048" width_o="1365" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/42b5dd19c663228beb41565eea05e4a31000a7fc8a112a89b1183e6cc44735f2/_VM05037.jpg" data-mid="171881805" border="0" data-scale="77" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/42b5dd19c663228beb41565eea05e4a31000a7fc8a112a89b1183e6cc44735f2/_VM05037.jpg" /> <img width="1365" height="2048" width_o="1365" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/474b0b6b05798a99dda68459b88d0da3fdfbe3a74322a57b133452dfef6ca829/_VM05040.jpg" data-mid="171881864" border="0" data-scale="77" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/474b0b6b05798a99dda68459b88d0da3fdfbe3a74322a57b133452dfef6ca829/_VM05040.jpg" /> Images by Visvaldas Morkevičius https://mortajonynaite.com/Second-Skin Thu, 16 Mar 2023 09:32:03 +0000 Morta Jonynaite https://mortajonynaite.com/Second-Skin Second Skin Second Skin is capturing gender transition – becoming a woman, both physically and through social relations. Hand-spinned and then hand-woven ropes are shaping loose fibres into solid skin parts, which function as a membrane, filtering one's inner and outer experiences. Stretched on a metal construction, these pieces of skin are hanging as if waiting at the operating theatre. The red warp is pouring down like blood, symbolising difficult and painful procedures a person is going through when starting a new life, under the second skin. 2022 <img width="2251" height="2641" width_o="2251" height_o="2641" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/607fdd09aeb0b33ad84a5d99939b722026d69c80ff0206815cabf2b0f93ee255/oda.jpg" data-mid="171885113" border="0" data-scale="57" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/607fdd09aeb0b33ad84a5d99939b722026d69c80ff0206815cabf2b0f93ee255/oda.jpg" /> <img width="5477" height="3651" width_o="5477" height_o="3651" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/84e89f8b1a594e7ac1a794feacc9d10e6d7de0a0772f7d86184078fa0f98ca9d/DSC01792.JPG" data-mid="171880164" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/84e89f8b1a594e7ac1a794feacc9d10e6d7de0a0772f7d86184078fa0f98ca9d/DSC01792.JPG" /> <img width="5477" height="3651" width_o="5477" height_o="3651" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cad1af246b87c12f8573eb5e7778c976e751aec45f0bb1e3279a9d19cdd42e62/DSC01809.JPG" data-mid="171880165" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cad1af246b87c12f8573eb5e7778c976e751aec45f0bb1e3279a9d19cdd42e62/DSC01809.JPG" /> Images by Andrej Vasilenko and personal archive https://mortajonynaite.com/Square-Root Fri, 30 Dec 2022 10:28:02 +0000 Morta Jonynaite https://mortajonynaite.com/Square-Root Square Root On the left hemisphere, shame appears as a scorpion residing within one’s body, it scratches the cheeks, crawls up the ears. Embarassement, which unveils us once unpleasant words are said out loud or, contrary, once we become voiceless and everything what’s said sounds like a phonogram, echoing foreign thoughts.

Gripping on the opposite images or sentences we are experiencing pixelated reality. Those single pixels are finding place in our bodies, creating image-accumulating lumps.

It acts as a dynamic boundary, reflecting the ever-changing processes of the modern world, characterized by constant flux and influenced by disruptive natural events that significantly impact our daily lives. Interestingly, we ourselves contribute to these changes. Historically, the coastline has attracted people with its mystique and enchanting appeal, but it has now transformed into a complex realm intertwined with political, sociological, and biological intricacies. As discussions about inevitable apocalyptic scenarios intensify with rising sea levels, a central question emerges: How does one navigate through this uncertainty and endure? What does it mean to appreciate beauty in the face of such a dramatic reality? In my frequent dreams of standing on the shore, the receding water transforms into a distant yet rapidly approaching tsunami. Just before waking, the entire scene dissolves, and the breaking wave reveals the mysterious secrets concealed beneath the surface. The coastal flora and fauna are captivating in their diverse array of forms and textures. For a brief moment, you are transported to another world, momentarily forgetting your roots and the world you've left behind. In that solitary moment, tranquility envelops you. 2020 <img width="1840" height="1637" width_o="1840" height_o="1637" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/08894054572ba6f9f2c6984c78aca69765dbdcf0433a7a0fa1edfe6781d1e11d/starfish.jpg" data-mid="82414245" border="0" data-scale="65" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/08894054572ba6f9f2c6984c78aca69765dbdcf0433a7a0fa1edfe6781d1e11d/starfish.jpg" /> <img width="6606" height="4404" width_o="6606" height_o="4404" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a93b6633c0f1075e2d2824e338fe26f0ad528ebf9773add697fcfd7e6002d0a0/web1.jpg" data-mid="82414760" border="0" data-scale="52" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a93b6633c0f1075e2d2824e338fe26f0ad528ebf9773add697fcfd7e6002d0a0/web1.jpg" /> <img width="6584" height="4389" width_o="6584" height_o="4389" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/08ca466188eb589a55e9c2273c99122295577e90eb747e79f2ee733707c8027f/web5.jpg" data-mid="82414766" border="0" data-scale="53" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/08ca466188eb589a55e9c2273c99122295577e90eb747e79f2ee733707c8027f/web5.jpg" /> <img width="6100" height="4066" width_o="6100" height_o="4066" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/88bc1ed979d264670ff4d77a6af0feb0fb6b2ef8aef51fb64592953a9f11f6e0/web2.jpg" data-mid="82414762" border="0" data-scale="53" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/88bc1ed979d264670ff4d77a6af0feb0fb6b2ef8aef51fb64592953a9f11f6e0/web2.jpg" /> <img width="4480" height="6720" width_o="4480" height_o="6720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b6bc5a84bf360239eb9a4abbec981581f911498bfd364b200d4c30bc8c54acc3/web4.jpg" data-mid="82414765" border="0" data-scale="32" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b6bc5a84bf360239eb9a4abbec981581f911498bfd364b200d4c30bc8c54acc3/web4.jpg" /> <img width="4480" height="6720" width_o="4480" height_o="6720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c813f4a73da5419a0f3cab830734c7f567d4a13607a7a547b7e051eaf5455452/web3.jpg" data-mid="82414764" border="0" data-scale="32" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c813f4a73da5419a0f3cab830734c7f567d4a13607a7a547b7e051eaf5455452/web3.jpg" /> <img width="3515" height="5273" width_o="3515" height_o="5273" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/886a729442ca6f6c4042b5264dd185322f01be799bf97f92010e6aa11ddbe70a/Txt_Morta_Jonynaite_JPGsHigh_FranziMS_6D8A8815.jpg" data-mid="82407438" border="0" data-scale="32" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/886a729442ca6f6c4042b5264dd185322f01be799bf97f92010e6aa11ddbe70a/Txt_Morta_Jonynaite_JPGsHigh_FranziMS_6D8A8815.jpg" />
