A Dominant Species

In 'A Dominant Species,' I delve into the relationship between humans and the meat industry, exploring the rarely spoken of psychological disconnect prevalent in modern society regarding our food consumption. Coming from a background rooted in rural Poland, where a deep connection to food was ingrained, I have become increasingly aware of the pervasive disconnection fostered by the meat industry. As I've transitioned to life in England, I've observed how neatly packaged meat products shield consumers from the grim reality of slaughter and bioengineered livestock. With my installations and sculptural pieces, I confront this dystopian narrative by crafting comically oversized cuts of meat and grotesque, unnaturally shaped slabs of flesh. These absurd pieces serve as a jarring reminder of our place in the food chain, as we manipulate and mould our prey to suit the demands of billions, turn our noses up at cuts of meat that may seem visually undesirable.
