Interpretation

A bear in Berlin under the Lithuanian flag - is that possible?

My mind wanders, the typical colours in the fields emerge, flowers, leaves and trees come to mind, just as I have always experienced nature since early childhood. And hidden away in this picture there are letters as symbols of people who I came across at some stage in my life. Signs between rocks directly on the coast, along the shores of the lakes, or even high up in the skies, shrouded by clouds. The little things in life are those from which my horizon in Lithuania has evolved and also those which distinguish my country from others.
