The still lifes created in the studio of Zane Priede are based on the aesthetics of the 90s. The photographs depict objects and materials typical of that time, which often symbolize a longing for a better life and liberation from the greyness of the Soviet years. Gypsum, linoleum, various plastic and glass objects, as well as a reference to food culture in the images created by the author, transfer memories to today, revealing the mutual interaction of time and materials and transforming it into an emotional landscape of the memories from the 90s.
