ALEKSANDRA MAGDALENA

I am a Polish-born, Spain-based photographer currently living in Valencia. I left my family home at the age of nineteen and have been in motion ever since. The experience of migration has shaped not only my life but also the lens through which I see the world. My practice is rooted in an ongoing exploration of identity and adaptation - in their broadest, most intimate dimensions. Motherhood, femininity, and self-acceptance lie at the core of my work. I am drawn to the shifting boundaries of belonging, and the quiet, often invisible forms of loss that come with it. I work with photography and words.
