“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 group of butterflies, made of acid resistant stainless electropolished steel dangle from the ceiling; their transience and fragility as opposed to the architecture of the hall.
The sculpture consists of timbers which form a heavy solid floating in the air, above the circulation area.
With their colours, leafs bring a nice memory of quiet days of summer and autumn. The idea was to capture their elusiveness using “heavy material” – metal.
Sphere made of tangly roots, an image taken from nature, is in contraposition to the industrial interior of a shopping mall.
Shawl made of acid resistant stainless electropolished steel is suspended under the ceiling. It refers to the structure of fabric.
The sculpture “Splinters” is made of solid wood, presenting splinters increased to the macro scale. However, through their structure, they are in contraposition to smooth-structured shopping mall environment.
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.
Through the use of various kinds of metal of different structure and texture, the artist create the wardrobe full of diverse “fabrics”.
The idea of the sculpture presents the return of a couple after experiencing life trials. Devoidof illusion, they return to the Garden of Eden as a starting point. Adam and Eve who are walking inthe Garden of Eden. In its stylistics, the sculpture emphasizes the connection of man and nature.
