The idea for this work came from the feeling of vulnerability and weakness. As one 6 artists I was nominated to Project Room Award in 2018 and to prepare a solo show in CCA Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw. It was right after me and my partner have split and I was in very bad psychological condition. I asked to move my show to the second part of the year, but they insisted - "you can do it", they said. But all I wanted to do was to lie on the floor, stay there and wait until I get better; but I was expected to be strong. This made me understand the pressure I was put under and that being weak is a human thing. So I decided to I indeed “can do it” and I decided to fall.
