Ink Exercises (working title)

This is an exercise done in a response to a therapy session. By starting with meditation and visualisation of my own pain, I ended up working with extra ink on top of a print, its excess and removal. The pain was no longer an internalised condition but a tangible material that I had control over. This was a process I used for personal healing.

You Make Your Saving Help My Shield

Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been living within a large community of twelve people (woongroep), which brought in intense social contact. As everything in the outside world seemed to go terrible, from within we had each others, which helped me dealing with depression. The images in this work were captured during a moment we had together. I have chosen sugar as a material corresponding to the sweetness and stickiness of our relations. I carefully caramelise it (before it gets bitter) and use it as a delicate finish.

This is not how we brought you up

Religion is something that was never a choice for me. With a strong Christian background within my family, going against the grain would mean to oppose to my closest ones. This ambivalence brings in a fundamental frustration. How can one find ways that works for both sides? Can differences be mutually and unconditionally accepted?

The Hands That Held Mine

Personal daily photography has become my way of making sure that memories don’t slip away so easily. In this series, I’m using images from a personal archive and reliving the memories of people that I have met. The Hands That Held Mine is a reminder of a warm exchange of comfort.

Love Stories (working title)

In this project I’m exploring the complexity of negotiating the fantasies and realities of modern day relationships, and the struggle of understanding of what is desire and how someone’s intimate presence influences us.

Choice (I’m there with you)

This material was created in the context of the political situation in my home country. The last few years the government of Poland has been limiting the access to the abortion rights and greatly restricting woman over their autonomy.
