It's the Weekend

Are you ready to relax? Or do you plan to step out in your best outfit?


Kaunas, Lithuania, February 1930. My Mom strikes a modern pose. She's standing in her bedroom. Mom fell ill around this time and spent many hours recuperating while staring at the screen painted with the flowers and the parrots. The wall behind appears shiny because it is covered in porcelain tiles. A wood-burning stove stood on the other side of that wall, and the tiles diffused the heat throughout her room.
