This work comes from a series of collages entitled Mountains for Warsaw. The artist skilfully juxtaposes the cityscape of Warsaw, where he lived and worked, with mountain scenery. In his text published in the monograph entitled Jan Dziaczkowski. Collages, Stach Szabłowski rightly points that „Mountains for Warsaw is the only project where Jan Dziaczkowski depicts Warsaw in an organised and conceptualised manner and draws on its iconography on a larger scale."
Dziaczkowski, who was a lover of mountains, died in an accident on the Zawrat Pass in the Tatras on 20 September 2011.
