In the "Pause" project, time does not flow linearly – rather, it hovers in the air, settles in nooks and crannies, and echoes in empty corridors. The photographs depict three spaces: an apartment decorated in communist Poland, an old state school, and the now-defunct Bethanien Hospital in Wroclaw. Each of these places is a kind of time capsule, where the past constantly intermingles with the present.

The choice of locations is not accidental. These are places deeply rooted in collective memory.

A hospital, a school, and an apartment from the communist era form a triptych of spaces that, like archetypal stage sets, accompany the lives of most of us. The hospital becomes a metaphorical threshold – both entrance and exit – a place of birth, healing, but also death. The school is a laboratory of memories, where first friendships, failures, and childhood dreams are layered – the echo of voices in the corridors still seems to bounce off the walls. On the other hand, an apartment in the spirit of a bygone system, with its furniture and lace doilies, acts as a capsule of memories – some will find in it traces of their own childhood, others an image of their grandparents' home that survives in memory like a faded photograph.

Although concrete, these interiors remain universal – like stage sets obliterated by time, ready to project the viewer's personal memories. Their aesthetic neutrality allows everyone to translate them into their own story, suspended somewhere between reality and memory, past and present.
