We invite you to visit Milda Narbutaitė’s photography exhibition “Taming Emotions” on display on the second floor of the library. Milda Narbutaitė became interested in photography eight years ago and began attending the Photography Studio at the Kaunas School of Technical Creativity, led by expert photography teacher Tatjana Kuzmina. Milda Narbutaitė is a laureate of numerous international and national competitions.
The “Taming Emotions” exhibition features photographs created using an innovative and authentic method without any computer programs, relying solely on analog photography. These are self-portraits that have been embroidered. The choice of thread colors is intentional:
- Red symbolizes anger, danger, and evil, depicting the deepest emotional struggles.
- Yellow represents happiness, confidence, and hope, reflecting the beginning of self-improvement and seeking help.
- Green symbolizes renewal, safety, and success, portraying the final stage of self-improvement when one has achieved inner peace, happiness, well-being, and overcome bad habits.
“Emotional struggles can affect anyone. It’s a relevant topic in everyday life that doesn’t always receive enough attention, and when problems arise, they are often inadequately addressed,” states the author of the exhibition.
The exhibition was organized with the assistance of Tatjana Kuzmina, the Photography Studio teacher at Kaunas MTKC.
