“Bubble Forest” was created as a reflection on the ability of plants to produce oxygen. The title forest consists of 18 steel stems/trunks ending with inflorescences/crowns in the form of spherical constructions representing a single air bubble. “Bubble Forest” refers to the terrestrial flora as well as to that known from the bottom of lakes, seas and oceans.
“Dandelions” is an installation directly inspired by the sophisticated design of dandelions (Taraxacum officinale) occurring in nature. The concept of this work was preceded by a meticulous analysis of the structure of dandelion seedhead, which in a somewhat simplified form was then transposed to the macro scale. As a result, the delicate floral pattern took on a completely new — half futuristic, half fairy tale — context.
The project was inspired by dandelions which are present in nature. The idea of Dandelions is to capture floral delicacy using “heavy material” – metal. The delicate nature of Dandelions contrasts the monumental architecture of the city.
Dandelions are made of high quality acid resistant stainless electropolished steel. It does not require special maintenance. It is totally water, storm and winter-proof.

The main idea is a reference to the mythical Garden of Eden from which the human kind emerged and spread his vision of world and culture. Adam and Eve presents a young couple enjoying the moment of privacy and intimacy.
Using various types and gauges of steel wire, the artist has created figures full of energy and whimsy. The sculpture might be likened to a line scribbled on paper, with a similar freedom of movement. There is the sense of immediacy as if the artist created the figures very quickly, allowing the lines of the wires to twist and turn as they wished. The artist wanted the figures to have real as well as visual movement. They have a “kinetic energy” that makes them seem to communicate with each other and with viewers.
DNA sculpture represents a continuation of a cycle designed for Municipal Botanic Garden of Wroclaw University. The form symbolizes a spiral line of DNA code. It combines masculine and feminine element with upward dynamics striving for further evolution.
Sculplture`s idea connect state of a dream with enjoying the nature.
Sculpture`s fragility and transparency evokes the idea of angels being mysterious and enigmatic but at the same time strong and supportive (steel).
