The performance Wound arises from the affective relationship with Zachęta — National Gallery of Art: its collection, archive and the exhibition Tears of Joy — and concerns the mediation of artworks, the transmission of their material un/presence through the receptive performing body. By setting in motion the silent vibration of the selected works, Wound enters into a dialogue with the traces of censorship, destruction, and rejection present in them, as well as their abject, triumphant corporeality. Through voicing and embodiment, Wound touches the institution’s history differently: by examining the relational nature of bodies of art, their sensual and unstable boundaries, the dialectics of the inside and the outside, of what is present and what is hidden, lost, rejected. Wound is a rehabilitation and embodiment that simultaneously reconciles with loss and does not allow forgetting about the scar.

A pleasure activist, artist, body lover, and life-hungry beast.
I work as an embodiment coach in the field of somatic sexology. I believe in the alchemy of the body and the power of sensitivity. I help ignite the inner fire.
Art, Movement, and Emancipation.
In my artistic practice, I explore diverse forms of expression and embodiment. My current work delves into eroticism as both a spiritual and political force. I believe it’s not just about what we do – but how deeply we can feel it.
I recently initiated Warsaw Mermaids – a project that conjures up urban rebels, seductresses, and emancipated women whose voices and bodies break through what is forbidden.
I lead individual sessions and group processes centered on the body, pleasure, and energetic transformation. I completed Body Therapy Training focused on sexual health and stress-release techniques, including breathwork, somatic trauma therapy, Taoist practices, sexual gymnastics, intimacy healing, and pelvic floor work.
I hold certifications in Dance and Movement Therapy (DMT), TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises), Sacred Womb Movement, and traditional Tantra and Kundalini Yoga.
Currently, I am deepening my knowledge through certification in Sexological Bodywork in the UK – a path of professional development and personal expansion, supporting others on their journey toward erotic sovereignty and embodied healing.
