Artist about her work:
The Rifle (water hose), here an element of the weapon is the most similar to the original (the model is a rubber training weapon Ak 47, the Kalashnikov version, a cheap version of the rifle bought often for fun). Directly, through a sketch of gushing water on the wall and the title, the object was transferred to a world of innocent children's play. However, despite the use of children's colors and blue candlestick, it still remains an image of a weapon.
Apart from cotton fabrics obtained from clothes (particularly children's clothes), I also appreciate the use of hand sewing. Leaving a trace, as if healing wounds... Just as a man makes a weapon to kill themselves, he uses his own hands and words to violate others, so I sew from the beginning to the end of the pistol itself, often pricking and mutilating my own hands.
"The creation is an ongoing observation and reaction to reality, to what I see, what I listen to, an emotional response. It all happens through the prism of day-to-day life. This is where the impulses come from, hence the material and forms, hence the working methods and this is where my place of work can be found. I called it the strategy of practical day-to-day life. It all comes according to the rhythm of life with its most basic needs. With the personal needs of my family and those for whom I am responsible. Treating creative activity as one of these fundamental needs became a natural consequence of my choices. Art has set itself in line with many other things and tasks, it has become a component of the organism that I co-create."

Sylwia Jakubowska-Szycik
Sylwia Jakubowska-Szycik was born in 1974 in Lublin; she has lived and worked in Gdańsk for many years. In 1996–2001 she studied at the Faculty of Sculpture of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, diploma in 2001 at the Sculpture Studio of Professor Stanisław Radwański. In 2010 she obtained her doctorate with a dissertation: The Need of a Master. She works as an professor in the sculpture studio. Since 2001, she has participated in many group and several individual exhibitions. She is involved in sculpture, installation, fabric and drawing. In her projects, she uses various everyday objects, castings, which she usually finds in her immediate surroundings. It limits the means of expression to a minimum while ensuring the substantive layer, readability of the recipient's artistic form and aesthetic impressions. She often modifies older works, using them to create entirely new meanings. Her realizations' multi-element characterization allows creating multiple arrangements and building new meanings depending on the presentation's space or context.
