“Esu laisvas kaip vėjas (I am free like wind)”... I have been with the passages of time and thinking a place the wind lands up when it paused blowing. Everything is transient and the past looks same as before but it also changes its meaning.
Esu laisvas kaip vėjas　（風のように自由）・・・時の流れに身を任せながら、風が流れを休めた時に落ち着く場所を考えている。諸行無常、過去は以前と同じに見えるがその意味は変化している。

In response to request by France I salvaged photos of a rock band I have taken in April 2006. France took me to a club in Takadanobaba, Tokyo and we spent few hours in megavolume. I could hardly listen to the lyrics of the songs and wished to know how they use words.
“The picture is worth a thousand words” but sometimes a picture is not worth a few words and time. It is natural that each way of realization has advantages and disadvantages so a photograph cannot be a catalyst with time like music, movie, dance and performance. And this limit is also a food for thought for creation.
友人のFranceのリクエストに答えて、２００６年４月に撮影したバンドの写真を。彼女に連れられ、高田馬場のライブハウスで大音響の中数時間を過ごした。まともに歌詞が聞き取れず、彼らがどのように言葉を使うのかを知りたかった。
「百聞は一件にしかず」、だが時に一枚の写真はほんのわずかな言葉や時間に劣る。あらゆる具現化の方法に長所と短所があるのは当然のことで、写真は音楽、映画、舞踏、演技のような時間の触媒にはなれない。この限界もまた想像の糧である。

I feel familiar to Vilnius more than it was because of my exhibition scheduled for next month, new friends and anticipating possibilities. It's been a while since the last time I got into the night in Vilnius and I had some secret rendezvous there.
来月開催の個展、新しい友人達やこれから先の可能性のため、以前よりもVilniusを身近に感じている。久しぶりにVilniusの夜に入りこんで密会した。

Snow burial

The photographs of ardour and coolness could hardly be ablaze with flame. Snow reincorporates the ashed smiles. There are other old photos waiting for the time to be funeralized.
情熱と冷静さの写真が炎に包まれることを拒む。雪が灰になった微笑を生まれ変わらせる。葬られる時を待っている古い写真が他にもいる。
