Elements

The space is a vacuum. The series not only presents abstract forms but also hand written and embroidered poetry on silk.

Out of the body experience gave me a sense of integrity with the Universe, my surroundings and people around me. It immersed me in the other realm bringing the sense of belonging. Poems represent relationships between forms and people- visible and invisible, two interconnected worlds. They also describe and reflects back on my memories and relationships with my family.

Ode to the bottom of my heart

I let you break

Crack

Crack yourself open

Because only then I can truly

Heal from misunderstandings of the past

From unfinished businesses

I let you break

So I can heal

And start again a new path to freedom

Two women

Distance between us is growing every day

Extending with every brushstroke I make

With every new book I have read

With every new country I visited

We are separated by Germany, Belgium, France and the North Sea

Why don’t you wanna come with me?

I asked once

I used to have to say so much to you

How does it feel? You asked

It doesn’t

I’m a wreck of a woman  I said

Deaf silence filled the remains of unused air

What else can you expect from me?

I snapped at him irritated

Joining other miserable humans

In that one single moment

I feel so much right now

So much weight

So much responsibility

I can’t lift my arms to help you

They tied with the back of my shoulders

I stand still gazing at the half opened window

Snow covered the mountains of our happiness

Two women sharing the same distance

The unknown territory

Two mindsets

One goal

To be happy again for a one brief moment

As they say, ‘whatever doesn’t kill you it makes you stronger’

So here we are standing

The heaviness of your legs in the drifts

Your quiet shout disappeared into the wind from Poland

Can we forgive ourselves?

You went deaf again
