LASKA BIZNESMENA 2025, feathers, plaster, acrylic, rotating mechanism
A rotating object attached to a plaster mold, made of delicate feathers to resemble a garden windmill. In combination with the silhouette of the performer, the object takes the form of a subtle caricature of an individual. It encourages reflection on the childlike innocence present in each of us. It is also a reflection on the duality of image and authenticity, as well as a criticism of the widespread workaholism that often forces us to ignore our own needs and crises.

ADULT BABY 2025, acrylic, resin, metal elements, ready-mades
An interactive object, a bell suspended on a baby pacifier. Thanks to the combination of materials of different textures, the carved bell does not make any sound, does not fulfill its role, and thus becomes only a useless imitation. In combination with the silhouette of the performer, the object takes the form of a subtle caricature of an individual. It is an artistic story about the duality of image and authenticity, and encourages reflection on the childlike innocence present in each of us.

“individuum” 2024, leather, acrylic, aluminum, bioplastic
Latin “individuum” ‚indivisible whole, atom’.
The work alludes to the consequences of the transfer of the century-old Villa from the Pabianice municipality to the site of the Central Textile Museum. The performer interacts with the object just as museum employees decide the fate of the building. The object is a symbol of the villa, it is subject to history - repeated relocation, manipulation by external forces. It is a metaphor for a living organism - through the action of the performer it undergoes irreversible changes. It leaves traces, we know where it was, but we don’t know what happened to it. The remaining object has become a new separate entity. The work encourages reflection on change, the inevitable. The dilemma of moving the villa and preserving part of its history, while completely changing what it has produced.

“Traffic noise” 2024
Seat belt buckle digging into ribs, crumbs scattered on seat. Polyester blanket material sticking to a sweaty body. Finger drawing on the windshield, fogged up from the warm breaths of a sleeping family. The flickering headlights and the bright neon lights of the gas station, cutting off the facial features of the sleeping parents. Relaxed, arrested in beastly unconsciousness. The theme of the collection is stops on a long car journey. The noise of the street, commonly perceived as a persistent noise, for her has the opposite, soothing effect. It brings back childhood memories - annual car trips with her parents to Italy.

The animation is an integral part of the clothing collection.

“MY SELF UNKNOWN” 2023
This project is a personal exploration of vulnerability and self-expression. Through fluid, performative movement, I aim to externalize my internal dialogue—communicating emotions and experiences that elude verbal articulation. The accompanying audio is a fundamental component of the work, featuring ambient soundscapes interwoven with layered samples of my own voice reflecting on identity. Together, the visual and sonic elements form an immersive composition that invites viewers into an intimate and introspective space.
