Group exhibition “Public Encounters (Publiskās tikšanās)” in Art Station Dubulti (September - October 2021), curated by Inga Šteimane, together with Marc Hulson and Kristaps Ancāns
Can a sculpture have sexual orientation? I say, that it can! The message of the Homosexual sculpture is simple - various blown up dices from the popular game “Scrabble” show that sexual orientation is not a choice, but it is an intrinsic and unchangeable part of a person, it is like a game of fate, just like choosing the Scrabble dices at the start of the game. The rotation of the dices around the central axis represents a time when a person questions and explores their sexuality. The possibility to break up the word by turning the dices around represents the current state of some part of our society who would rather see the LGBTQIA+ community hidden in our closets.
