Statement

The presented works come from the "War in the Fifth Dimension" cycle, which is a photographic vision of emotions accompanying wars, gathered and recorded on the branches of the timeline - in a place called by scientists the fifth dimension, where it is possible to combine light matter, that is everything that we can observe in the universe, with dark matter. Analyzing the history of the civilization, one can come to the conclusion that as long as man exists, there will be wars. The tragedy of militarism has not spared any of the twenty civilizations, from the Namer era to the present day. The fate of Sparta, Assyria and the empire of Charlemagne are among the most spectacular examples, but also a warning. And as 2022 shows us - nowadays it is still possible.
