Marta Jamróg's latest exhibition 'Kiszone lustro' is a visual narrative attempting to reach the earliest, inaccessible memory stages of human formation. The artist focuses on the moment of life's formation, treating it as a space where the first emotional matrices and predispositions can arise: processes that begin to operate before the individual enters into a relationship with the outside world. The central theme of the exhibition is consideration of the “programmed scenario” hypothesis — the belief that life's trajectory can be outlined somehow at the very beginning of existence. Jamróg analyzes the tension between what is determined and what can be shaped independently. She wonders whether we are the authors of our own biographies or performers of a previously written structure. The exhibition thus becomes an invitation to reflect on the origins of identity: how much of it emerges from our decisions and how much from areas to which we have no access but which constantly shape us.
One of the paintings presented at the exhibition depicts Colombian singer Shakira. “The painting depicts a metaphorical scene referring to the dreams and aspirations of artists. It shows Shakira inside a human womb. Shakira here is an embryo symbolizing a soul preparing for its earthly journey, in accordance with the concept contained in Newton's book 'Journey of Souls'. The soul has a designated path and goal, but reality often disrupts these plans. Aspirations can be challenged by life's obstacles and limitations. This painting emphasizes that not everyone succeeds in fulfilling their soul's destiny,” explains the artist.
