Working with words, texts, and textiles I create large site-specific textile artworks in public spaces often focusing on feminist and gender perspectives, as well as small scale pieces exploring language and semiotics. In the years 2025/2026 I am a guest teacher at the Design Faculty of the Art Academy in Szczecin. Simultaneously, I work in the field of illustration and graphic design.

It is a part of Purity is temporary project. Text and stills were published in KAJET JOURNAL issue no.3 ON STRUGGLE, Bucharest, 2019 1/ You show up in the morning, very early; you open all the doors to let some fresh air in, you make coffee, play music (preferably something calm, though it doesn’t really matter, it will soon be eclipsed by the sound of vacuum cleaner anyway) and start. Firstly, collect the trash left on the counter and the tables, wipe all the sticky flat surfaces using a wet cloth, vacuum the floor, and mop it with a rotary mop. I once saw a meme implying that it is a fidget spinner for women. Indeed, there is a grain of truth in it—the stick is designed especially for them: it’s short and scaled, so apparently, it is easier to use. Everything is as it should be: after all, the title of your job position is not a cleaner, but a cleaning lady&nbsp;and you are a woman. You will probably meet a waiter or a chef, but sometimes you’ll leave so early that no one is there yet, you are invisible. You find this place dirty and leave it clean, so everything can start again, as it does every day. 2/ In essence, it is taking care of things, looking after, maintaining. It is a gentle, quiet, and beneficial action; it requires patience and time. It is about collecting dirt that has settled on one surface by means of another surface, the dirt does not disappear, it just changes its place from one object to another, from a floor to a rag. Dirt is rinsed immediately in order to hide it: it is washed out in a washing machine, vanishes in the abyss of pipes so we can happily meet a fresh, clean rag, seemingly all-new, ready to use again. Purity is temporary, indeed. This disgrace of dirt might be the&nbsp;reason why there is something uncomfortable about cleaning in&nbsp;a public space. Not even for a cleaner, who, focused on her work, doesn’t notice it anymore and simply does her job, but for the observers. They either try not to step on the wet floor, excessively apologizing should this happen, or ignore it altogether and simply walk through, making the cleaner invisible: the cleaner appears unnoticed and leaves the place clean, what matters here is the end result. 3/ Once my male friend saw me mopping the floor in our shared kitchen and remarked: Finally, a woman in her rightful place. Since 2016, marches have been taking place in Poland, called Black Protests: protests against the violations of women’s rights and against the patriarchy still dominant in the society. During these marches objects related to the so-called traditional housewives, such as kitchen equipment or cleaning tools, were employed by the protesters as tools of resistance. A clenched fist wearing a yellow rubber glove or a frying pan with the words enough is enough engraved on it could be seen on the streets, along with banners and slogans. The simple change of context these objects appeared in—their transition from the domestic into the public—turned them into weapons, powerful tools of protest, and political manifestos. Well, a woman is in her right place, if she decides so. https://olakorbanska.com/ALL-WILL-END-WELL Fri, 25 Mar 2022 11:42:19 +0000 olakorbanska https://olakorbanska.com/ALL-WILL-END-WELL ALL WILL END WELL 2022 textile, thread 2,5m x 2,5m / 2,5m x 2,5m A pair of large-scale, two-sided textiles. Both pieces have a&nbsp; positive and negative side, interlacing with one another, by the visible stitch. The first one says all will end well and if it’s not well, it’s not the end on the other side. The second: well, all will end with lol lol lol lol on the back side. Even a banal, hopeful saying can have a second side to the story. While the work can be read as a response to the current events taking place in Europe, it can also be understood more broadly, as an expression of the zeitgeist: a bitter and ironic Internet meme. Things, indeed, will end well, but it takes a long way for them to end. And what will the grand finale be, anyway? <img width="2822" height="3687" width_o="2822" height_o="3687" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/68ef703eea42669967eac6fd6d0e986e368bfbf8cb011e090a1a92a6cfb999ee/allwill6.jpg" data-mid="137538824" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/68ef703eea42669967eac6fd6d0e986e368bfbf8cb011e090a1a92a6cfb999ee/allwill6.jpg" /><img width="3000" height="2002" width_o="3000" height_o="2002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b13f74f67cff34c0e4d78c6ad575be5f7e64d74796eaa58aab2c3789f356a6de/DSC_5877.jpg" data-mid="137534323" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b13f74f67cff34c0e4d78c6ad575be5f7e64d74796eaa58aab2c3789f356a6de/DSC_5877.jpg" /> on two-sidedness I enter the room in Kröller-Müller Museum, there is a painted panel standing in the middle of the space. It shows the young lady wearing a veil and holding a carnation flower in each hand. I come closer to read the description: Portrait of Margaretha von Mochau by Barthel Bruyn the Elder, 1524, painted a year after her marriage to celebrate the union of love. The way the panel is exhibited, its position in the space of the room, clearly indicates that there is something important, worth seeing on the other side of it. I assume it is most probably her husband since it is a marriage portrait. With my hands crossed in the back (classic museum-style walk) I slowly pass the edge of the painting. The image I see, it’s not the one I expected: there is a skull, a still smoldering candle blown just a second ago, and a vanitas note, (saying – as I’ve learned later – Everything ends with death, death is the end of things). I walk around the panel and make a short video of it. After I came back home, I obsessively played it on a loop, circling around beginning and end, life and death, bright side and a dark side, the chubby, pink face of a girl, and a skull. Even though the first image disappears to reveal the other one, I played it so many times, they become one, inseparable thing. As if one side was visible on the other, somehow see-through. <img width="3000" height="2002" width_o="3000" height_o="2002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/51e843de7905c5e50ced5c2a670ae2dce7a0042a4b99dde5fd82fa91cc24bea9/DSC_5882.jpg" data-mid="137534331" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/51e843de7905c5e50ced5c2a670ae2dce7a0042a4b99dde5fd82fa91cc24bea9/DSC_5882.jpg" /> all will end well if it’s not well it’s not the end It is a sentence I’ve heard on the radio, quoted as a saying of someone's mother. The usual, hopeful, banal, everyone heard hundreds of times, here deepened by the second part: if it’s not well it’s not the end. It claims that the neutral state of things is positive, while I start to wonder if the struggle will ever have the grand finale, if I will ever see the happy end promised by the mother. <img width="3000" height="2002" width_o="3000" height_o="2002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/daefd3b86a2b39993e229ee098de0eb33a58123c0a580dead5ab423dd1783335/DSC_5878.jpg" data-mid="137534324" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/daefd3b86a2b39993e229ee098de0eb33a58123c0a580dead5ab423dd1783335/DSC_5878.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2002" width_o="3000" height_o="2002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b109c2aa58d2a0bcc9fe629006c30d5f5cf0024077f270e479d98464856ccb9/DSC_5883.jpg" data-mid="137534335" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2b109c2aa58d2a0bcc9fe629006c30d5f5cf0024077f270e479d98464856ccb9/DSC_5883.jpg" /> well, all will end lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol Laughter became the coping mechanism of powerlessness, the feeling of lacking agency, turning the most bitter events into a joke.
