Memories & Identity

Lithuania, my country! You are as good health:
How much one should prize you, he only can tell
Who has lost you. Your beauty and splendour I view
And describe here today, for I long after you.

 

Adam Mickiewicz. Pan Tadeusz, Invocation

You will not understand the value of things until you've lost them. How cliche. And how true. One will only understand it once lived it. I had to move over 1000 miles from home to appreciate my cultural heritage. This project, inspired by Slavic culture, is my way of acknowledging its value.
