About the Artist:

Aglaja Ray’s practice spans painting, illustration, murals, and immersive installations. Her recent series turns toward quieter inner states, drawing on nature, dreams, and sensory stillness to reflect on fatigue and overstimulation in a hyperproductive world. Before this shift, she spent years investigating theology, artificial intelligence, and transhumanism, using speculative imagery, UV-reactive materials, and surreal cyborg forms to question our evolving relationship with faith, technology, and the body.

It emphasises the importance of seeking help through various means rather than merely dwelling in the painful states of consciousness. It was created in 2022, during Lithuania’s state of emergency to combat the spread of the Coronavirus.
