Meditations

“Continual awareness of all time and space, of the size and life span of the things around us. A grape seed in infinite space. A half twist of a corkscrew against eternity.”
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, (10.17)

“Jurgita’s world absolutely rejects optimistic “paradises”; preferring modernistic subjectivity to represent a luxurious dream journey. So the seeming absence of expression on the noh mask-like “face” is Jurgita Gerlikaite’s introduction for the viewer into her dreamlike “wonderland” state.
So we here begin an endless adventure or meditation and dissolution of subjectivity. ”
— Rio Kojima, Professor of History, Chubu University, Aichi, Japan, 2008
