XVIII. The Moon // Kasia Przezwańska
dreams, illusions, projections, depth of inner world, misunderstanding, fear
The Moon is a card that points to the subconscious and the inner world. It makes us think about whether our visions are not just sleepwalking hallucinations. Lunar energy rejects logic and leads intuition towards the unknown - it is the secret of our inner self, hidden even from ourselves. It signals the need to confront the shadow and warns that strong emotions can obscure the real world and we should not make binding decisions now. It does not urge us to dismiss our feelings, rather notice them and allow them to flow freely and fully through our awareness. It suggests that the issue may have a second meaning. The Moon alerts to ambiguities. It marks those moments in life when we unknowingly project our emotions outward or project our fears onto someone else. The Moon card encourages us to enter into altered states of consciousness, while, at the same time, adding that we sometimes need to wake up from our sleep.
Kasia Przezwańska (born 1984) - sculptor, painter, creates architectural installations and interventions, as well as films and photographs. She graduated from painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw (2009). In her work, she refers to architecture and nature. She combines these two fields to find solutions that can improve the quality of our lives. She is committed to creating useful art. She draws inspiration from vernacular architecture, elements of modernism or avant-garde, utopian, and early 20th century ideas. In her installations and architectural interventions, Przezwańska uses materials such as rocks, minerals, and plants. Also important for her is the perception of color in culture, which she uses in her creative actions. Some of the artist's painting interventions are located in the Sculpture Park in Warsaw's Bródno district. They were created in 2010. Using colors that refer to the neighboring blocks of flats, she marked selected elements of small and large architecture, highlighting especially defects or cracks in park elements, such as pavements and benches. Her works can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Zachęta National Gallery of Art, Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle, ING Polish Art Foundation, the art collection of PKO Bank Polski, and the European Central Bank in Frankfurt. She has taken part in dozens of exhibitions in Poland and abroad (including Copenhagen, Mönchengladbach, Zurich, Ostrava, Paris, Miami, and Vienna). As part of Warsaw Gallery Weekend, Przezwańska won the ING Polish Art Foundation Award (2017) for her work Wczesna polskość (eng. Early Polishness) exhibited at Dawid Radziszewski Gallery. In her work, the artist showed her vision of Warsaw from several hundred million years ago. She lives and works in Warsaw.
