In the profound silence of the night, as we gaze upon the stars, a timeless question lingers: what truths lie hidden in the depths of our being? This artwork is deeply inspired by Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński's poignant lines from his poem "Bajka," inviting you to ponder the significance of seeking genuine stars amidst the shadows of existence.

 

As Baczyński wrote:

“The stars were low like doves.

Sad people bowed their faces

and searched for true stars in the depths

with that smile that you probably know.

Then the lands opened like gates,

the mountains, murmuring, led under the cloud,

so they cast a stone into the waves of the sky

to measure the depth of the sky beneath them.”

 

What do these celestial bodies symbolize in your journey? Are they mere lights in the vast darkness, or do they represent the dreams and hopes we chase against the weight of the world?
