Together with 7th International Biennial of Contemporary Jewellery and Metal Art METALLOphone, the National Museum of Applied Arts and Design presents a solo exhibition UJEI by the jewellery artist Eglė Čėjauskaitė-Gintalė. The artist’s signature style is usually recognized by subtle Samogitian narratives told through jewellery pieces, Samogitian words, as well as ancient tales-turned-into ornaments, but UJEI reveals a new facet of her art.  
 
“Those who assume they know Eglė’s artwork will be surprised. Her most recent pieces have no narrative or poetic dimension – but the excitement of discovery and playfulness,” curator Ludavičienė explains. 
“The artist’s jewellery captures the process and life, it is about having fun with materials, and the awe of the bottomless metamorphoses of shapes. It can be best expressed by the Samogitian word “ujei” – “Oh, My”.  One short word stands for numerous stories one can leave untold.”
