My mom saved me from pain, but she didn’t let me get used to it. Now I must do it myself, tearing those sticking plasters off, one by one.

The mother has always been an embodiment of delicacy to me.
In this cycle, I return to my early memories of femininity.
I portray the mother through their prism.

I observe the roles we play in our mother-son relationship. I have always been fascinated by our influence on each other. It is very beautiful but also difficult. I look for a mechanism of support and tenderness.

The video entitled „mother” was created as a result of observing my relationship with my mother. My mother used to ask me the same questions, and I noticed that I always answer automatically.
The video was my attempt to show two different realities – should I answer differently, should the questions be different?

I feel that a relationship with my mother is very diverse – not only close and friendly, but also uncomfortable and oppressive. However, constancy seems to be its fundamental feature – does it cause that feeling of discomfort? And above all, is the uncomfortable feeling specific for me or is it more common?

What bonds me and my mother? Where our paths are crossing, and where they are far away from each other? Mother is a foundation on which I build my on identity, life and rules. In this short video I listen to my mother and try to find myself in her words.

Mother is the video-art that depicts the fear of losing sight, which accompanies my mom/ that is experienced by my mom. I visualized my projection of mother’s fear- at the top and her own idea of it- at the bottom.

This video was produced as a result of my observation of the relationship between me and my mother. In it, I see the recurring reactions that arise in relation to my problems. My mother’s constant affection is represented by a gesture that I recall from my childhood.

What is the price of being perfect? Although arising from love, continuous correction and positioning of loved ones uttered like a mantra can turn into micro-pin pricks that stay in the body for a lifetime.

In my work “Mother” is a universal foundation. The foundation on which we all rose and developed. “Mother” is Earth, a ground – which help us shape our first feelings and emotions. The relationship with the Mother creates a path built of emotions, various stages and subsequent transitions between them. Emotions that, despite diversity, create a similar path.
Similar transition.

What is the garment in the cultural context? How much does the society
impose expectations on us, and how much do we do so to ourselves? If
clothing (social role) is a kind of costume, at which point it becomes
grotesque?

This video is a test of the relationship I have with my mother. Posing for a photo doesn’t seem to end – it shows how genuine we are with each other and how long we can keep on smiling. You can’t not have parents. You don’t always want to be one, but sometimes it just happens. I’m trying to check if I got the right mother.
The real one is numer three.

The work is about a compulsive need to take care of another person and the endless possibilities of showing affection and solicitude. It is an attempt to find boundaries between the feeling of fulfillment and excess. It shows a process of striving to find a way to take control over reality and managing to shape it.

In response to the task, I wanted to present my deceased mother’s figure through the traces she left behind. Most of my memories are related to her things that remained in our apartment.
