The Baltic Sea, including the Ālande River valley, has formed relatively recently, and the flora and fauna of Latvia is one of the youngest in the world. Nowadays, due to climate warming and human activity, it is replenished with new species. That which is already existing must learn to welcome what is new and different – or risk fading away.
Three works of art located on the banks of the Ālande River mark the constant changes in nature and invite trail visitors to get to know the meeting of the layers of the past, present and future in the coastal landscape during the hike.
The art objects lead to the exploration of change through play and awareness of the moment. The creators of the walk invite us to seek balance within ourselves, finding inspiration in the diversity of nature.
This art project was created as part of the “Liepāja 2027 – European Capital of Culture” programme.
