Latvian Summers: Memories from My Youth (2010–2012)

Step into a time capsule of warmth, nature, and nostalgia. This collection captures fleeting yet unforgettable moments from my early 20s, spent during the summers of 2010 to 2012 in Latvia. Each image is a fragment of memory—my grandmother’s gentle hand holding a freshly picked flower, the quiet beauty of wild blooms in the countryside, and sun-drenched days at a beachside summer house.

These photographs are not just scenes; they are emotions frozen in time—simple, intimate glimpses of a youth filled with stillness, nature, and the grounding presence of family. Through this visual diary, I invite you to experience the soft light, quiet joy, and raw beauty of Latvian summer days that shaped my early journey as a photographer.
