"The shape of each award is irregular, plastic, made from various prints of trees growing in Latvia. From different times and places, as eyewitnesses of life, thus symbolizing the imprints left by the lines of life. When I look at trees every day, I see that no two trees are the same, just like every person has his own life story and main task. Over the years, we acquire both roughness and fineness - up to a polished shine. This is part of our people, the Baltics - verticals, people, big trees, hope, strength, passion, lines of light experience."
