The main body of the workshop was unfolded around the relationship between art and nature. Throughout the two-week workshop, the professor followed the artistic production of the students and assisted them to realize their artworks made exclusively from natural materials incorporating the idea of sustainability in art.

In Japan there is a saying that goes “the one living in the lighthouse doesn’t see the light”, and I realized how beautiful and lucky I was to be living in a city full of art.

It was a great opportunity to see natural cults in signs and symbols also in the Italian context and relate them with Latvian pagan culture.
