House 1122 – a raw concrete skeleton of an unfinished 1992 Soviet monolith in Jelgava, Latvia - locally known as the ‘Suicide House’. The rigid, unyielding concrete walls stand as a frozen monument to a collapse – an end of empire, a last stop. When up there, looking at the horizon, watching the passing of time, you see exactly what the people saw before their departure.

This project explores the fragile boundary between heavy structural permanence and the fleeting, terminal nature of human being. The idea is rooted in the deeply personal experience of growing up in one of those concrete monolith buildings together with many other trapped souls who called it a home. The work transforms the act of viewing from a window into an act of looking inside yourself.

Many sunsets were watched through that window, contemplating repressed dreams in a deep, isolated trance state. A viewer standing inside a dark building looking out of a concrete window sees their waking consciousness meeting their own subconsciousness..
