Miško miestelis

or “Forest Town” began with my move to Kačerginė – where the forest meets the Nemunas River and time flows differently. I photograph the paths, faces, and moods that shape this community: from quietly changing streets and forest to chance conversations with locals. It’s an open visual notebook, an ongoing project – more of a journey than a finished story.
