Trifolium Photo Studio Member Ausra Babiedaite Rasimas (b. Lithuania) is a Copenhagen-based photographer working across beauty, portraiture, and fine art. Her work has appeared in international titles such as Vogue, L’Officiel, Tush, and Infringe.
Her exhibition ‘Sekretas: The Hidden Bloom’ is an introspective photographic installation reflecting on a nostalgic childhood game from Soviet Lithuania. Children would dig small holes in the ground, arrange hidden treasures - flower petals, leaves, foil, candy wrappers, shiny beads - and cover them with a piece of glass before burying them with dirt. The secret world would be unveiled only to their closest friends.
Using floral compositions, sand, pigment, and liquid textures, Ausra’s photographs become a meditation on memory, transformation, and the quiet resilience of beauty.
Ausra will be exhibiting her work in the metal workshop on both days of the festival.
