The exhibition is the result of six months of work with drawing, poetry by Alexander Najda which became the inspiration for creating an abstract authorial expression through charcoal and paper.
The 19 drawings were transferred to a one-color silkscreen at the Morze Foundation's silkscreen studio, under the watchful eye of Mateusz Zywicki. One poem by Alex corresponds to each silkscreen.
Specially for this exhibition, a temporary mural on the wall drawn with wooden charcoal was created.
