MA of art (spec. in multimedia graphics) at the University of Nicolaus Copernicus (Torun, Poland), currently PhD student at her alma mater, explores about the use of archives in contemporary art . Witchin her artistic practice she addresses the 'idea of memories' (collective and individual, various forms of remembrance) particularly interested in the subjects like: sence of travel, home, identity, borders, flows, perception. In the ongoing projects she draws from archival sources related to Mallorca's cultural heritage from 50s.-70s., related to transformations of the island's territory, that occured with the 'mass tourism' development revealing the power of image and process of collective imagination's creation.
