Abstract nominee

Nature provides us beautiful and fleeting sensations.
For me, it is a work of art itsefl, a composition of lines, colored spots, solids and surfaces. This project is not about presenting nature transparently or mimetic, but by working with photographic material and putting it under digital transformations, I'm looking for a visual way to find that unique impressions.

Her works engage in a critical analysis of the humans/nature intersections in the context of the care for the environment, and on how technology impacts individual body and identity. Serkowska uses her media in a contemplative way, exploring the boundaries of perception and memory. She reflects on human transience and expresses emotions inspired by confrontation with death.
