For me it is important to become a person who - is not afraid to try new things in life and to make mistakes. Another thing which I want to dedicate myself to is investigating how “environment” can be represented in a more personal way, creating a closer and more meaningful connection to it. Apart from this I want to work with social problems and challenge some existing social norms that create division and exclusion. For example I want to challenge social norms in Latvia. Often in my country the government tries to split up civilians based on language or background, but for me it feels like a nightmare. Through my work I want to prove that social life is important for us Homo-Sapiens and can be something, which brings us together through empathy and understanding.
