edition: 2/8;

Exhibited at:
- "Pągowski Na Nowo", Warsaw, 2022.

"Working with the sculptor to interpret my 'flat' works was an amazing experience. It screwed me up a lot and here I see a lot of new possibilities. Posters are ephemeral, because it's paper, so I chose the works that viewers appreciate the most, which are my calling cards, and I also like them myself. Capturing them in spatial form is for me a new perspective on what I do, and the awareness of the durability of bronze adds even more charm." - artist's statement from an interview conducted during the exhibition titled. "Pągowski Na Nowo", held at the Artinfo.pl exhibition space, in 2022, where bronze sculptures created based on the artist's iconic designs were presented for the first time.
