This project spanning from 2022 up until 2023 was all about Poland. The theme was called roughness, or "Chropowatość" in Polish. This project was all about showing my father's home country and all my passion in showing my country in a different light.

I went to Warsaw and Łódź to my family to properly understand the culture, the country and way of living. The reason for picking this topic is mainly my family, having given me all the motivation to pursue it in a deeper fashion and to try and concentrate my art on the political, cultural and artistic way of being Polish.

Politics also fuel my interest in the depth of this topic, having a "rough" and struggling era through the consequenses of World War II and the eventual Cold War having severe effects on Polish living standards and culture, being condemned to a Foreign Ideology both times, having a true warrior story; making Poland one of the only countries had their country taken over, twice

Thus making me even more proud to be even half-Polish.
