"It is irresponsible, if not impossible, to attempt to try to distill a rich, diverse culture into a small series of images. Poland is a land of extreme contrasts so ideally this should have been translated onto the wall. This approach is not harmonious with the format of an exhibition as the required jumps from image to image would so violent as to disconcert the viewer, potentially compromising the images as singular entities. I don't claim to know Poland or the Polish by any measure so I have not attempted to paint a Polish 'picture'. I was a relatively passive observer and the images were instead made in quiet and contemplative moments. They reflect an enriching and often visually confusing experience." | Christopher Young
