biography

Born on 12.03.1997 
Degree finished at the workshop of Piotr Czech on the Art. Faculty of the University of Zielona Góra. In my work, I like to combine elements of collage and drawings. My art. Is often a form of social commentary towards current events. It’s very important for me to speak out on matters that are important for me such as equality, body positivity, or ecology. Designing and sewing books which I also illustrate is what I find especially pleasant; moreover, I enjoy linocut and photography.

self-commentary

 
The word "Lacuna" comes from Latin and it means „the gap”. It can also be understood as the language gap – an occurrence when a language lacks a particular word that could describe a thing, a person, or a phenomenon. This inability to precisely translate some foreign words was an inspiration to create this book. Illustrations were made using techniques such as collage and drawings. The whole project got combined into a book of moveable illustrations.
