I am a polish student of Fine Art at the Cambridge School of Art. In my art, I'm focused on people's brutality towards other human beings. I'm unveiling the savage and very often unknown history of what Nazis were doing with human's body. As many people with different nationalities and believes, members of my family were also murdered in concentration camps and when I came to England and realized that many people don't know that during Second World War humans' fat used to be changed into soap, skin into lampshades or book covers and hair into a fabric.

Genocide No. 1 (Gold Teeth) is a first installation from the series I plan to create this year. A heap of gold teeth presents what one person is able to do to another human being. I hark back to the Second World War when humans' destruction was highly mechanized in the concentration camps. Despite the sacral attitude towards the dead body, it was very common that time to see people ripping out gold teeth on request or just to get rich.
I believe that we can't forget about what was happening during the First World War, Second, and the rest of them. We live in a very peaceful and comfortable world at first glance. However, it doesn't take much to change everything. Many countries have got bombs which can destroy even our whole planet. Wars are bad. Everyone knows it, but not many of us really understand what does it mean to live during that time. In my art I want to present how cruel and brutal we can be- not in a survival situation but when we are blinded by idea, belief, obsession.
Now, I'm looking for an organisation that will be able to take care of this artwork. I don't want to throw it away. I believe that the topic is too important just to let this artwork die in a trash.
