Four towering, vertical artworks, each in a 16:9 ratio reminiscent of a phone screen, feature vibrant paintings adorned with prominent black rectangles. These compositions explore the theme of digital obsessions, using their black screens to unveil unsettling, unseen truths that provoke a fundamental question: "What defines the relationship between humanity and technology in today's world?”
The artwork explores the intricate connection between women and food within the context of societal attitudes, social media, and image. In contemporary media landscape, mounting concerns arise regarding the impact of pervasive imagery on body image, self-esteem, and the development of unhealthy relationships with food.
The series stands as a testament to the essence of unity, celebrating the power of friendship and emphasizing the necessity for solidarity among women. It delves into the complexities of women’s relationships, shedding light on the unfortunate reality that societal conditioning and patriarchal influences can sometimes lead women to perpetuate divisions among themselves.
The series explores the fundamental significance of tactile interactions, evolving in meaning throughout various stages of human life. These paintings poignantly emphasize the essence of nurturing relationships, the inseparable bonds between parents and children, and the intimate connections shared by couples. Spanning a period of over two years, the onset of the 2020s saw a global halt where touch, a cornerstone of human connection, was abruptly forbidden. The COVID-19 pandemic swiftly stripped away humanity's most intrinsic and essential act: touch. A kiss, a hug, or even a simple handshake became prohibited, prompting deep reflection on the indispensable nature of physical contact. This sudden deprivation posed various questions about the human need for touch and illuminated the stark realities of loneliness when one encounters another person yet cannot bridge the physical distance.
Emerging from a Polish upbringing within the framework of Catholicism, the artist intimately experienced societal scrutiny—whether through way of dressing, encountering body shaming, or navigating cultural shifts after moving abroad. These personal encounters inspired a series of seven paintings, each representing women who face societal judgment for their life choices. The series includes women who choose abortion over motherhood, those who prioritize family over career, individuals who pursue non-traditional professions, those who endure body shaming, and those who face judgment for their religious choices. These women, having made conscious decisions and embraced the consequences of their actions, continue to face unwarranted societal commentary. The series began in 2020, a year marked by a pivotal change in Poland's abortion law, which effectively imposed a near-total ban on abortion and prompted thousands of women to take to the streets in protest.
