“Would you like to learn to communicate with space and its diversity, to meet people who are not anywhere close at the moment?” asked an invisible, inaudible force in one of Antanas’ dreams, which he wrote down, just like he did with some of his other conversations ‘about subtle things’. “Would you like to learn how to catch the right moment?” the same ‘voice’ asked him in another dream. “I agreed, then the force took me by hand and we started moving upwards,” recalls the artist.
