An exhibition of a series of black and white digital prints of fish. Although an illustration is, by definition, an inseparable part of a text, Natalia Klęczar consciously focused solely on the image.

"This image-based cycle has been inspired by the marine world. In particular, I wished to express my admiration of the rich diversity of sea creatures. Each illustration is made up of intricate patterns, making the work quite ornamental."
