Conceptual nominee

"Love Is a Word, the Brain - a Metal Box" is a conceptual series that belongs to my project titled "Photography Is Poetry" inspired by the poetry of a famous Polish poet Halina Poswiatowska.

My objective to re-examine the eternal conflict between heart and reason is the one she probes in her poem:
"love is a word/ the brain - a metal box/ wound up daily/ with a silver key of delusion".

Angelika Ejtel (alias RapidHeartMovement) is a Polish self-portrait artist based in the United States. Her photographic work is inspired by the poetry of a famous Polish poet-H.Poswiatowska. Angelika’s photographs have been featured in literary publications (such as “Dead Bop City”,“Palaver” or “Watershed Review”) and exhibitions throughout the country as well as internationally.
