Indre Serptyte


Indre Serptyte
is a young Lithuanian photographer, she studied in the UK at Brighton before completing a masters last year at the Royal College of Art in London, and she has been shortlisted and won various awards including the Terry O'Neil Award, the Jerwood Award and the Fujifilm Awards.
Her work is influenced by her Lithuanian heritage, and a deeply personal connection to her subjects and none more so than the beautiful "A State of Silence" series, she describes this series as:

"The Lithuanian papers wrote that it was a “Painful misfortune (a catastrophe)”, when the Head of Government Security died.
Albinas Serpytis died in the early hours of the 13th of October 2001, in a “car accident”.
No one seemed to know the details, or circumstances, or provide straightforward answers. His death was premeditated and brutal.
All that remains is silence, unknown circumstances. Hidden motivations. A chilling absence.
This was my father. The subject of my indefatigable investigations"

for more info on this incredible young artist see her website here

and a big thanks to Nana Kate for pointing me in this direction.
