In the work 'Catch'—created specifically for the gallery 'apiece'—Neringa, as in her previous pieces, explores the possibilities of material transformation, the threads of place and time, and the meanings embedded in rituals. The installation Catch consists of two photographs: on one side, a photograph she took in Brazil featuring fishing nets (2016), and on the other, an image of a random person’s netted bag containing objects (2024). Each part of the work is a continuation of the other, repeating the same pattern motif while conveying different meanings and depicting separate realities. These are two distinct yet interconnected 'catches.'

The title Catch alludes to the pursuit of luck, its significance, and how it is embodied in amulets and talismans. Hanging coins with dolphins—often called 'the always-smiling fish'—reflect our desire to entrust luck to rituals, superstitions, and objects imbued with magical meaning. In this work, the net motif becomes a means to 'fish' for both catches and fortune.
