I am Immigrant. I came to United States when I was thirteen years old. I navigate American culture both as an individual person and as liaison for my family. There are so many extra steps for me, knowing that family members still have trouble communicating in English. Knowing the legacy of my Polish culture and American culture at times it’s difficult to grasp. Living between these two spaces I am very aware that I’m not entirely Polish and I not am I entirely American. My work is the place I feel at home. Within my projects I find a way to articulate my experiences in a way words do not allow me. Recurring theme in my work is personal relationships. As an immigrant I have often felt like I was separate and other from people. This separation inspired most of my figurative work. I like to think about boundaries and borders between people. This layer of social distancing has me asking new questions with my work. This ongoing figurative series still deals with shifts and limits of relationships but also has been exploring global and American perspective.
