Monika Plioplyte's multidisciplinary practice intertwines elements of Baltic folklore, gender identity, and the immigrant experience, using printed and cut paper, photographs, and mixed media to create narrative structures that transcend the personal and cultural. In her latest exhibition, You Are a Circle Expanded, Monika delves deeper into her ongoing exploration of weaving patterns, not just as decorative symbols but as carriers of both emotional resonance and cultural memory.
