Asymmetry is one of the most important achievements in Dłubak’s work. The portfolio consists both of photographs and paintings, which the artist perceived from a philosophical perspective. Dłubak worked on it from 1983 until his death, invoking, in an innovative way, the constructivist tradition, furthering the issues discussed in Władysław Strzemiński’s treatise A Theory of Vision (Wydawnictwo Literackie, 1958). In his comment about Asymmetry Dłubak wrote: "I blur the usual perception of objects to get closer to the essence of what is concealed deep in views of things. In views, and thus in us."
