A profoundly evocative work that serves as a visual bridge to Lithuania’s history. This piece is a ‘glass negative’ of the soul, where the silhouette of Paulina Monginaitė—the country’s first professional female photographer—forms the very container for memory itself. Within her form, the spectral, idealized image of the Tiškevičiai counts manifests, seated in the Palanga Palace estate. This juxtaposition captures the delicate tension between the Persona (the social, aristocratic facade) and the Anima of the lost era (represented by the wild, trailing ivy on the back). Monginaitė’s lens, held within the very structure of her being, doesn’t just record history; it reclaims it, transforming a collective shadow into a luminescent ancestral light. It is an invitation to peer through the ‘glass negative’ of our own psyche and integrate the fragments of who we were into who we are becoming.
