Trace carries many meanings. It can be a memory of life and achievements, a gene of ancestors in children, a toy stamp or a simple reflection of a foot in sand. Regardless of the context, it is connected with permanence, prolongation of existence, with a kind of salvation. In my monotypes, dried plants, tissue paper and delicate fabrics have left traces. Unstable, fragile materials, which after printing ceased to exist, gained another life in the form of their reflection and a new identity as a part of the composition.
