Ieva Rojūtė in her works explores connections between people, the family construct, conflicts in the individual’s identity and everyday folklore. The main themes she keeps revisiting are the possibility of failure, misfortune, anxiety, fear, fantasy, not succeeding in life. In the site-specific installation Lithuanian sadness, the artist combines in a different way some phrases from previous works: «Using some sad sayings I have collected about life and surviving when there is nothing bad happening but feels like nothing good will either. »
