Writing and receiving letters is a form of relationship that is almost entirely lost nowadays, yet it is a long-lasting testimony to relationships, something that contemporary relations can not substantiate in a tangible form. The letters are also an evidence of the time one person devotes to another. It is something we do not do nowadays, we allocate much less time to the other person. The central image of the artwork is relationships, the evidence that they have left and that still influence the descendants. Perhaps it is essential and beautiful to stop at times and look at the love of two young people, the winding path of life through the evidence they have left – letters, with signs of foxing, photos, that still have an impact on us and show us who we are are and where we come from.

Dita Lūse is an award-winning artist based in Latvia, whose artworks have been exhibited internationally.  She has studied at the Art Academy of Latvia and University of Wisconsin and has had over 30 solo shows and participated in numerous group shows. Dita Lūse is a painter and works in oil on canvas, in a manner which resembles watercolour painting - with thin washes in multiple layers.  While her art explores diverse subjects, the recurring theme is the relation between light and time. Luse often depicts spaces that are laden with memories, highlighting the depth and atmosphere that light creates. Her engaging compositions fuse realism with impressionism and conceptual art. The works by the artist cover themes such as the interplay of light and shadow in interiors, the enigmatic characters of X-ray images and the depiction of multi-layered memories in the works of the recent years.
