Marita Liivak's exhibition, opened at the Pärnu house of artists, explores her adaptation process and search for security in a new environment during her time at the WIELS residency in Brussels.
Marita Liivak's exhibition in Pärnu showcases a collection of works created during her residency at WIELS in Brussels in the first half of 2025. The exhibition titled 'The Privilege of Introspection' delves into her artistic process as she grappled with adapting to a new physical and mental space. Through her works, Liivak reflects on her personal journey, expressed through art that aims to convey emotions and thoughts tied to a profound sense of searching for security.
The title of the exhibition encapsulates the essence of introspection, suggesting that creativity often stems from an individual's internal conflict and search for peace and stability. By presenting her works in the house of artists in Pärnu, Liivak not only shares her personal narrative but also connects with the local artistic community, fostering dialogues about identity and belonging in contemporary society.
As the world continues to grapple with uncertainties, Liivak's exploration of personal security resonates with broader themes of mental well-being and adaptation in the face of change. This exhibition serves as an artistic commentary on how artists navigate their own quests for security and understanding within their art and through their experiences in new environments.
