Adrianna Gajdziszewska – ARTIST STATEMENT
Polish artist working with sculpture, installation, and ceramics. Her art is an attempt to reach the core of human experience, often addressing themes related to psychology, pseudoscience, the cosmos, ecology, and transhumanism. Her recent works explore the condition of modern humanity. In her practice, she uses art as a tool to explore the complexity of our universe and to better understand the world.

She does not assume she will find clear answers — instead, she strives to create a „formula for a shared world” that embraces diversity and incorporates multiple perspectives, methods, and forms of expression. Seeking cultural, social, political, religious, sociological, biological, and media-related connections, she merges her artistic practice with methodologies of both natural and human sciences.

Out of fairness toward nature, she increasingly revisits earlier works — some are dismantled, others transformed, revealing new meanings. She treats material as living tissue: bearing the traces of previous ideas, gestures, and decisions that now require reconsideration. She is also increasingly inspired by biomimicry strategies, translating nature’s mechanisms of adaptation, coexistence, and regeneration into an artistic language that not only comments but also empathizes.
