Spark of hope

Over the time, these photos took on more meaning for me in an expanded context. It is a disease that affects us or our loved ones, over which we have no direct influence and causes us suffering and pain that does not go away. There are certain social frameworks that cannot be overcome and which often limit us greatly. World wars that we cannot stop. This powerlessness, which seems to be a hopeless path, causes all the lights to go out. However, no matter what happens, there is always that little spark of hope for a better tomorrow, a new day, another chance or a new beginning.

My name is Karolina. I am an engineer and a humanist. Taking photos has brought me joy since childhood. I am fascinated by the process of combining complex technique with my unique artistic expression and interpretation. Photography is my passion and an essential part of me. I cannot imagine life without art and looking through pictures. Mindful photography teaches me to notice beauty in small things and within myself. It is like therapy for me, a balm for my soul. I hope that through my art, I can help you see the (un)seen beauty - not only around you but especially within yourself.
