Unknown is a group exhibition at UFO Art Gallery in Kraków, Poland, curated by Maria Ciborowska and presented from August 28th to October 10th 2026. Bringing together painting and three-dimensional works, the exhibition explores texture, material, structure, and the experience of looking.

​

My contribution features four works from my ongoing Beyond Gender Molds series: Moss Rose, Hollyhock Flower, Hollyhock Petal, and Rainbow. The series explores how society and family shape personal identity, drawing on childhood memories and lived experiences to question the expectations placed on women and girls.

​

Moss Rose, Hollyhock Flower, and Hollyhock Petal were created in 2024 using mixed media on canvas, each measuring 24 × 30 cm. Rainbow, created in 2025, is an oil pastel work on A3 Canson paper.

​

Alongside the exhibition, additional works from the series are displayed on rotation in the gallery’s showroom: Reduced to Ashes, Washing, Evening, PTSD, Butterflyfly Net, and Humid. These belong to the separate showroom selection, and their availability to view changes over time.
