The Arte Laguna Prize 21st Edition

2026 · Arsenale Nord, Venice

I still can’t quite believe it, but here it is: my work has been selected as a finalist for the Arte Laguna Prize 21st Edition — one of the biggest international contemporary art awards.

Almost Home, a fragment of my larger project Unsettling Interpretations Beyond the Theatrical Stage, will be shown at Arsenale Nord in Venice this November, alongside 120 artists selected from thousands of applications worldwide.

This project started in an empty apartment in Vilnius, with masks, light, and a lot of quiet obsession. Seeing it travel this far means more than I can put into words right now.

More photos from the project below — and see you in Venice.
