Ewa Wes formerly ewa wesolowska visual artist sculptress
Ewa Wes creates installations composed of sculpted objects that engage and transform the surrounding space. Her work investigates the cognitive dimensions of time and space — how they are perceived, how they shape memory, and how memory is retained, or fades over time. Her installations juxtapose the visible and the invisible, presenting traces of presence across contrasting timescales. Fleeting phenomena, such as the ephemeral events of particle physics occurring in infinitesimal moments, are layered with objects that evoke enduring, slow processes. This interplay highlights the limits of perception while also illuminating the complexity inherent in the formation and recollection of memory.
Ewa Wes methodology is marked by repetition and iterative processes, driven by a focus on visualizing the elusive nature of time and space. Rather than aspiring to encapsulate them in their entirety, her work pinpoints the inevitability of experiencing only their fragments.
