Cycuszek — the goddess's breast

A ceramic breast — a dome with a nipple, pale glaze, soft raking light on linen

“February — one may think of love. More than passion, I am moved by decency in the everyday, plain as a grey dishcloth. Balance, and much tenderness for one's own existence, curiosity and respect for the Other. One can make a ritual in honour of the good that follows. In a ceramic breast of the goddess.”

The breast suspended in light — a hemisphere with a nipple, a gentle shadow
The breast held in the artist's hand — a breast of clay in an open palm

Two installations of domes were made in 2026: one of 16 elements (a 4×4 grid, shown in Kielce — private collection) and one of 9 elements — the one in the photographs below; it is in the studio and available.
