Artūras Morozovas’ photography exhibition “Then When I Saw You”

These are the words that often start a family story. A fragile moment, an encounter that gave a sense of nurturing security and filled a home with life.

“Our family is four lives connected by the twists and turns of life.”

“It’s a great joy to be able to show a child the world and see it anew through the eyes of a child.”

“In 25 years, 28 children have lived in my home and still do. A hearth should not only be a place to live, but also a place you always want to come back to.”

These are just a few of the stories captured in the photo shoot by photographer Artūras Morozovas. These are the stories of parents determined to foster and children who have found new homes.

“Travelling around Lithuania, visiting and photographing these families, I was amazed by the cosiness of their homes. Each home had its own sounds, conversations, laughter, cooking. We live in a small country, in a closely interconnected society. I believe that all children are meant to have families who can take them in at a difficult time and give them constant care. And children for the families who will experience the fullness of life thanks to them”, says Mr Morozov.

You can visit the exhibition of Artūras Morozovas now, until the end of February, at the Naujoji Vilnia Cultural Centre.

We invite you to come and not only see, but also read the stories of the foster families. Maybe they will inspire you to make important, life-changing decisions.

The exhibition will run until 28 February 2026. The exhibition will be on display at the Small Hall of the Naujoji Vilnia Culture Centre.
