This painting presents a group of objects observed on the meadow which slowly transformed itself in a young forest. The owner of this plot wanted to reforest it and interfered with nature arranging several dozens of lot of so-called scarecrows on its large area. These object consisted of coarse wooden posts and pieces of colourful fabric fastened to them with a string or tape. They had a deterrent function. They imitated human silhouettes and were supposed to protect young birch trees from wild animals, for which they were easily accessible food.
I was watching how these objects change under the influence of time and weather conditions for almost one year. Faded colours and rotting wood began to disappear in high grass and between numerous trees until they became an integral part of nature. I documented this phenomenon over a period of time and owing to that I was able to select and present objects in several stages of their degradation.

Visual artist. Painting and photography. Born in 1981, Minsk Mazowiecki, Poland. Lives and works near Warsaw,PL. In my creative work I deal with painting and photography. The inspiration for my works I find in the real world from which I take the shapes of objects and plant motifs. The main topic of my paintings is human activity in selected areas of his surroundings. I make observations of objects created by him in public places, isolated, on orchards, on the marketplaces and street stalls. These and other objects are usually made from recycled materials, whose primary purpose came an end. They are set up a new and their function depends only on the imagination and intentions of "the creator". I'm interested in them the material they are made, cleverness, purposefulness and the final effect. The resulting objects are very significant for me, I am finding in them the beauty of construction by early deconstruction. I am also interested in the coexistence of man with nature. In my paintings I depicting phenomena from the plant world, in which you can see human "traces". By observing the impact of his actions on nature closely, I want to show its transformation and adaptation to unnatural conditions. The result is often interesting compositions consisting of plants and artificial matter. Both of these entities under the influence of time are slowly transformed, plants seem to adapt to the situation, and the foreign matter is decomposed and constantly degraded, becoming a specific part of nature, almost its living organism."
