Aldona Kmieć invites viewers into a contemplative exploration of femininity, colour, and identity through a meditative body of photographic self-portraits. Created using long-exposure techniques and movement, these works blur the line between presence and absence, visibility and concealment. They are an intimate meditation on belonging, the negotiation between past and present, and layered experiences of finding one’s place.
