'I am interested in the multi-layered nature of the world, where every step leads to another dimension, where every form unfolds into something new, and every boundary is only an apparent barrier. The fluidity of matter, form, gender, and the body. Fragments torn from the whole, secrets, everything that exists "in between," and the inaccessibility of what often remains hidden from our consciousness. All the cracks and fissures that reveal the other side. I am inspired by the energy of nature, trees, and stones - I listen to the whispers of the world and remain attentive to the details of everyday life. I explore these structures, extracting from them the particles that combine to create my artistic expression.
I transform them until I fully absorb them. I do not recognize the divisions imposed by society. I choose the undefined and limitless - what exists in between: freedom of thought and transformation. In this undefined space, I find my place, constantly evolving and transforming. My art is a response to the questions I ask and to the issues that intrigue me, emerging from a constant process of exploration and observation.
I am currently studying Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk in the diploma studio of Professor Katarzyna Józefowicz and specialisation in Metal and Small Sculptural Forms.'
