Emilija Pliaukštait? uses the imagery of a crowd to explore both external and internal chaos, emphasizing their inherent connection. The artist's work is deeply influenced by real political events, such as the war in Ukraine and wealth disparity, and her creative process resembles a form of prayer. She collects images of people from magazines and newspapers, assembling them like beads on a rosary, with each person becoming a subject of meditation. Her process begins with collages and evolves into various forms of print and sculpture. Pliaukštait? experiments with materials like bleach, gold leaf, ceramics, and plaster, each of which underscores the fragility, fragmentation as well as sanctity of the crowd.
