The work comes from the leśniaks series, which is the artist’s opus magnum. Like a detective, he has followed his own shadow with a photographic camera since the 1980s. With time, his photographs have become increasingly calmed, subtle. Exhibitions: Romanesque House in Wrocław; Stara Galeria ZPAF, Warsaw; Modern Art Gallery, Gorzów Wlkp.; BWA Jelenia Góra.
