My artistic practice began in my teenage years through photography, a medium that taught me to observe closely and transform personal encounters into visual narratives. I hold a BFA in Photography from the Academy of Art in Szczecin, Poland.

Since then, I have lived and worked in Scotland, Latvia, and now Finland — each place continuously reshaping how I perceive the world and leaving its mark on the way I look at things, a way of looking that now runs through everything I make.

Currently, I am studying Design at Aalto University, where I continue to expand my practice by exploring possibilities of different materials and forms of artistic expression.

In my work, I explore themes of memory, nostalgia, and the complexities of modern life.
