August 2018
Vilnius, Lithuania

The aim of the art photography competition Herbal Portraits, initiated for the 100th anniversary of the restoration of the Lithuania’s independence, was to encourage people to rediscover the plants of their country that not only improve physical and mental health, but also please the eye. The aim is to strengthen the interaction between plant energy and human self-expression needs: freedom, creativity, concentration of thought, emotional satisfaction, self-belief, and the ability for a person to stop and listen to themselves. The Herbal Portraits initiative received more than 350 photos from professional photographers and photography lovers. From these, the commission selected the top 10 photographs displayed at the at 2018 Garden Style conference. The winner of the competition was photographer Eglė Lugauskienė.
