Viktorija Makauskaite
About (EN) / (JP)
Viktorija Makauskaite is a Lithuanian architect and artist based in Japan. She uses photography, drawing, craft, and text as her artistic medium, often exploring their interconnection.
A part of her work stems from architectural upbringing through observation and engagement with sound and space.
She is interested in exploring the connection between ourselves and place, the alive and inanimate worlds around us. Viktorija sees art as an opportunity to redefine one's ground and establish new links with adopted and abandoned places, languages, communities, and self.
