The artist is looking for new materials for her paintings. At first glance, the abstract forms are surprisingly consistent in their subject matter - "not everything is connected to everything, but everything is connected to something," says Donna Haraway. Spermaceti, the semi-liquid substance found in the sperm whale's head, was used to make candles and creams and lubricant for industrial and agricultural machinery, which in turn resemble torture tools and erotic toys. The artist's body tells about tenderness and violence towards many other bodies. On a micro scale, the artist closely examines the elements of reality and looks for a place for women's bodies in it, and examines the power relations in reality.

Academy of Fine in Warsaw (Poland), graduated at 2020, with "ComingOut" reward for Best Diploma of The Year.
