Most people run away from their gray, mundane reality into sports, traveling, or parties (with alcohol or drugs). They want to have fun and escape from the overwhelming reality.
Most humans want to forget that they are workers, and they have to give back to the employer their most precious resources: time and vital energy. After coming out of work, they often want to escape their dull and annoying reality. Those people do sports or are looking for another destination to travel to. They all want to change their environment. Moreover, they want to forget for a short period that many contracts restrict their freedom. The fact is that I am not an exception. During my whole life, I still seek internal calm, peace, and escape in sports, traveling, or photography. We all seek a temporary escape.
Luckily, I gave up alcohol. Another difference between me and most of my contemporaries is that I started to look for katharsis in art.
I want to immerse myself in the gray, mundane reality that surrounds me in Warsaw to experience spiritual catharsis. Indeed, strolling around is an enormous contemplation of Life And Death. I do not want to avoid the mundane reality. Escaping from it is not a solution. I want to be part of it. By walking through the streets of Warsaw, I want to give tribute to the mundane reality which surrounds 90% of people worldwide. Thus, my pictures often look sad and depressing a little bit. I want to confront this reality with art. I told it once and will say it the second time. Creating pictures and texts is one long contemplation of Evanescence. All people have their proverbial five minutes to do something during their lifetime. I want to focus on art. Indeed, art is an escape for me.
