The work explores the theme of spirituality by reflecting on the Christian symbol of the cross particularly prevalent in the landscape of Polish villages and cities. Religiosity imposed by tradition can take the form of oppression, especially against women living in smaller, patriarchal communities.The personal layer of the work is important to me – the moving cross acts as a seismograph of hesitations, doubts, and personal struggles, in light of which the idea of ultimate identification with an immutable symbol seems impossible.
