THE INNER POWER
GLASS COLORED IN MASS FORMED BY HAND AND BLOWN IN A BASKET
The Inner Power’ concept is a continuation of Aga’s passion for combining two crafts; glassmaking and basketry. She enriched it with symbolism of three resources that allow you to stay energized in the face on unexpected external changes.

GROUND SERIES
The quality, that contact with the soil gives us, teaches us contact with the inner womb. It triggers in us a sense of care for ourselves, for others, for the planet. Invites you to make yourself comfortable in abundance.
THE INNER SEEDS
GLASS COLORED IN MASS FORMED BY HAND
Unused, unexpected, fairy-tale, with non-obvious colors and structures. The only function they perform is to stimulate, to contemplate and reflect - PESTKI - a limited collection of sculptural objects.
She is looking at small, mysterious manifestations of life. Seeds, seeds, grains - containing the beginning, the end and the continuity. Some of them metaphorically "immersed in the ground", others slowly sprouting from above the surface, still others bathed in light and energetically stretching upwards. Each of them as it should be, each in the right place and moment for it.
First collection in which Agnieszka is letting go of the function, interested only in the power of color in relation to shape.
In addition to the colorful and sensory explorations, there is an actual thread. The germ of the idea for the collection were fragments of texts encountered by her in books, are direct inspiration for creation. Each object coexists with a quote. The textual layer is an incentive to expand vision and feeling beyond shapes and colors. The eponymous seeds are a pretext for her to stop and reflect on what is incredibly delicate and valuable. But also on that unwanted stone in the middle of juicy fruit pulp that we reject. And the seeds continue their journey unwaveringly and in their own rhythm.
