Łagodny zarys nogi
pod wąską opięta spódnicą.
Unoszę.
Moje nogi.
Królestwo gam i kolorów.
—
A gentle line of leg
under a slender tight skirt.
I raise.
My legs.
A kingdom of gamuts and colors.

noc jak ściana
za nimi
wszechświat z obojętnymi
oczyma gwiazd
i tylko oni – samotni
w odrapanym oknie
ziemskiej ulicy
—
night like a wall
behind them
the universe with indifferent
stars for eyes
and only these two -alone
in a shabby window
of an earthly street

Location: Dallas Museum of Art, TX, U.S.
It was another Late Night event at the DMA
which I attend monthly and,
as some of you may already know,
I usually bring a new work for my project.
That time it was all about the Pop art movement with music,films,
art-making activities and opening of the newest exhibition “International Pop”.

Location: Balboa Park, San Diego, CA, US
Balboa Park is the largest urban cultural park in the United States, home to 15 museums and gardens. The main reason of my holidays there was sunshine and sugar white beaches though. San Diego has more than 300 days of sunchine per year and more than 70 miles of Pacific Ocean beaches. After 5-day stay, just before leaving for Los Angeles, I decided to visit The Museum of Photographic Arts located in Balboa Park. This picture was taken just before the visit.

W zapachu konwalii goją się rany
i otwierają się szczeliny w ziemi
ziejące próżnią bez dna.
—
In the fragrance of the lily of the valley wounds heal
and the cracks in the earth open
gaping in a bottomless void.

I feel as though a new project was born with this piece,
but I am unable to name it yet.

chustka była z jedwabiu
więc miękka
w mocnej ścianie hak
ze znaku zapytania
w wykrzyknik stężał
—
the kerchief was of silk
thus soft
the hook in a solid wall
out of a question mark
it froze to an exclamation point

Location: Meyerson Symphony Center, Dallas, TX
That was a glorious Memorial Day Concert!
I took this photograph after when
finally the door of the elevator
stopped opening and closing.
I had a good time playing with
all the reflections, geometry and symmetry.

A zapach ci poślę, zapach tych nocy, które rozcięte przemi-
jają pomiędzy nami, jak pomiędzy dwoma brzegami mija rzeka.

And I will send the scent to you, the scent of these nights,
which sliced open pass between us like a river passes between two banks.
