Churches: Żuławy (2019)



This series depicts the interiors of medieval, small Gothic churches located in the Żuławy region in Poland. Żuławy is the alluvial delta area of Vistula, in the northern part of Poland. From the Middle Ages to the information age, such objects were the only place of contact with art, in this case, sacred art, and designed space for most people living in these areas. This series is a systematic attempt at artistic documentation of these objects of architecture and the art present in them. It is also an examination of the way that architecture expresses the history and identity of society.
