Erosion and Emergence explores the profound interplay between loss and transformation in a volatile and uncertain world. The eloquent artworks by Agnieszka Piasecka and Wiola Ujazdowska explore themes of mourning, memory and recovery, highlighting the power of human resilience in times of crisis. The works are about the artists' personal experiences, but they also reflect a broader perspective: there are hardly any aspects of life that are not affected by the real or imagined dangers that threaten the Western world. This state of social anxiety and sense of loss is shaped by rapid change and an unpredictable future. So while we are trying to navigate the emotional twists and turns of grief and the rituals that accompany it, the authors' works offer a distinctive way of understanding and accepting change. The journey from erosion to inception reflects not only what remains of the past, but also the hopeful rebirth that follows, highlighting the enduring strength and capacity for renewal inherent in the human spirit. This is why the works of Agnieszka Piasecka and Viola Ujazdowska may appear gloomy and dark, but they are in fact instruments of hope, recovery and growth.
