The artist was inspired by the stories of the characters of the book „Dreams of a little frog“ and by personal recollections about forefathers coming from Lithuania and Poland who were the story-tellers of her childhood. The artist drew a sunflower on the wall of the building. The story- teller in the book „Dreams of a little frog“ gives dreams to a little frog. In one of the stories the little frog has to give away his heart to death. When that happens, the dream comes true and the story-teller divides herself into many story-tellers like seeds in a sunflower. This marvellous blossom symbolizes each of us individually as if we are story-tellers of our stories. The seeds in the blossom are our dreams which disappear after becoming true. With the help of young volunteers in Marijampole, this painting beautifies the souls of the artist‘s forefathers, their native roots while seeds in the sunflower are all people creating the world with their own stories.

The flowering fence symbolizes Lithuanian folk saying „fences start flowering in a native country“. It is a distinct reaction to the consequences of the pandemic leading to inability to return to a native country and remain missing one‘s homes and close people. An architectural barrier is a fence. It a window to other people living somewhere else while the flowering of the fence is the expression of nostalgija reflecting the feelings of people who are unable to return home.

The motive of Greece pantheon gives the feeling of strength and stability to this wall, especially it is symbolic during the world pandemic giving a chance to travel but only in everyone‘s mind. Take a bag and come here with your family, friends or relatives, have a picnic and feel yourself as if you were in majestic Greece.
