The ever present use of history, both in individual and collective experience, tries to connect dialog forms with the inexpressible; democratizing the practice of art. Examining the axis between the human body and geopolitical nature of things. A crucial element of her performance lies in time and embarrassing situations, which verify the attractiveness of norms and experiences. Student of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw.

This is a bad video. I did everything badly, not as I had been taught.
Through thick and thin
at last I'll find it,
whether I want it or not,
my luck.
Through thick and thin
my own spot,
there, where you're waiting for me.
I don't plan, I don't calculate,
I don't watch flakes of life.
Indeed, everything what will be
the fate listed long before...
Through thick and thin..
The sun shines through the clouds,
a bitter medicine cures the best
Where does the path lead, I don't know
but at the end - you...
Through thick and thin..
