Sylwia is interested in forms that are somehow changed from their original self. Sylwia is loo king for added meaning\, by time by cover\, by place. The same subject wil l look differently when covered by a sheet of plastic or cloth\, loosing i ts context but gaining an uncertainty. It is easy to imagine monstrosity i n the unknown. We distrust a hidden object or person. Our imagination will fill the gaps. Our preconceptions give meaning where none may exist. She likes to explore this misdirection and gullibility. She examines people an d their forgotten stories\, joining bits and pieces to reflect on reality and on lost historic tales.”
