Transformations
solo exhibition in Bunkier Gallery, Krakow

The piece focuses on the theme of incessant change in nature – the looped cycle of birth, growth, maturing, abundance, decline, death, and a new birth. It highlights the singular moment when the end becomes the new beginning and. In reality, due to the never-ending rhytm of change, the process of eternal becoming goes on forever. The secret of life is being revealed in the rhythm of transformations.
The series consists of the fresco-installation We Are Born Delicate and Fragile and its counterpoint The Loss of Softness Causes a Living Death – where five cement sarcophagi symbolise death. There were five dresses stuffed with hay buried iside of them. They are a symbol of nature. The hardness of the concrete is counterpoint to the delicate softness of the fabric. Ten photographs entitled Fragility Has a Singular Beauty complete the series. They document the dresses when they were alive, so to speak, that is—worn by their owners.
