Objects can carry stories, emotions, and a sense of connection to people, places, and cultures. In this project, I explored the unique energy I feel when interacting with four specific objects: a rosary, a Chinese bridal closet, a ring, and a deer skull. Each of these items holds a special resonance, revealing aspects of my identity, heritage, and personal journey.

​

What began as a seemingly random selection of objects evolved into a deeper exploration of my Polish roots and my fascination with other cultures. The rosary and the closet reflect my appreciation for traditions and symbolism, while the skull and ring, gifts from family members, evoke a strong emotional bond, making me feel connected to loved ones despite physical distance. Each object emanates a different kind of energy, which became a rich source of inspiration and experimentation.

​

The creative process extended beyond photography. I treated the photographs as foundational materials, layering them with paint to add depth and emotion. This blending of mediums reflects the layered stories behind each object. To further evoke the spiritual and emotional resonance of the objects,

​

For inspiration, I drew from Wassily Kandinsky's exploration of spirituality and symbolism in art, as well as Native American Animism, which emphasizes the spiritual essence of objects and nature. These influences align perfectly with my vision of capturing the intangible energy of objects and expressing it through a blend of visual and auditory mediums.

​

This project is an invitation to reflect on the emotional and spiritual connections we forge with objects, encouraging viewers to consider the hidden energies that shape their own relationships with the material world. By weaving together personal narratives, cultural symbols, and spiritual concepts, the work seeks to evoke a deeper appreciation for the power of objects as carriers of memory, emotion, and connection.
