You can find laurel forests on Madeira,
from which a delicate fragrance rises.
I close my eyes and remember my grandmother's yellow dress.
A disturbing feeling of constraint.
I am everything that I have lost.
With a sense of mismatch and emptiness.
I traverse the world with a sense of slow fading away.
I was born and raised in Silesia, Poland. At the age of 19, I left my family home and have been constantly moving ever since.
The experience of migration has profoundly impacted my work. I am deeply interested in issues related to identity construction and adaptation. In the broadest sense, Motherhood, femininity, and self-acceptance are also central to my interests. I continually reflect on what it means to belong and the various forms of loss.
I work with photography and words.
