Akvile Anglickaite (b. 1982) is a Lithuanian artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans moving image, photography, sound, and light installation. Rooted in a documentary sensibility, her early work explored themes of gender, identity, and socio-economic realities. A pivotal shift occurred with her PhD project Ocean (2017), completed at the Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts—a digitally simulated moving image installation depicting a hyperreal, endlessly undulating sea surface. This work marked the beginning of her ongoing exploration into the aesthetics of uncertainty.

Anglickaite’s recent work traces the intersections where natural appearances or internal structures are translated into cultural narratives—and vice versa. Water, in all its forms, frequently emerges as both a visual motif and a symbolic framework. Her installations are highly responsive to the spaces in which they are shown, inviting viewers into immersive environments designed to be felt as much as understood. Engaging the senses through light, sound, texture, and movement, she encourages audiences to encounter instability, transformation, and ambiguity—and to develop an individual relationship with these conditions of contemporary life.
