The exhibition is the third installment of the collaboration with Alexander Najda's poetry, which became an inspiration for creating an abstract, authorial expression through charcoal and paper, just as charcoal itself became an inspiration for new poems. The exhibition presents 19 drawings transferred to a single-color silkscreen at the Morze Foundation's silkscreen studio, along with 10 digital reproductions. Each print is accompanied by a poem by Alexander. Especially for this exhibition, a large-format, site-specific piece was created, consisting of four pieces of canvas drawn with wooden charcoal.
