‘The former Polish-Russian border in a decaying Europe. Geographic boundaries have been obliterated, and traces of war - like a stain - are reflected in the fragile identities of the surviving humans. The illusory beauty of the landscape opens its raw image - a picture whose frame deteriorates, rots, breaks into pieces. This fragmentation is reflected in minimalistic pictures of intimate relationships, showing a human being who - like an animal - on a leash, in a muzzle, in a cage of his own fear - can no longer come close to another. It is too late for any deed, and the dignity lost cannot be regained.’
