Solo exhibition Familiar Stranger at Pärnu City Gallery Project Space 11.03–18.04.2026. 

The project deals with the meeting of generations through photographs and archival materials. 
It is a story about grandfathers who left and grandmothers who have stayed here in Estonia, and how pictures, old letters and memories help to restore broken ties and understand the roots. 

A meeting with a previously unknown relative living in America reveals past decisions, departures and new beginnings. Choices made several generations ago now open up new layers of cultural and identity-related meaning.
