The writer can’t unambiguously define the objects of her creation – it’s simply people. Her creative themes also vary. Certain images, movies, books, songs and paintings inspire Aistė Vilkaitė as well.

In the autumn of 2007, the publishing house “Versus aureus” published Aistės Vilkaitė’s debut novel Nojus ir Ema (Nojus and Ema). This was the first prose work that Aistė Vilkaitė resolved to show not only to a few personal friends, but to a wider circle of people.
