Artist Statement: I repurposed deformed metal roofing in this installation to reflect on humanity’s complex connection with the planet. The crumpled forms and drawn contour lines evoke the earth’s fragility and our attempts to measure and control it—efforts that often fall short, revealing broader human impacts.

Artist Bio: Kalina Winska is a Seattle-based artist creating paintings on canvas, wood panels, paper, and three-dimensional installations that present speculative landscapes and transformed objects that blur reality and representation, the environment, and its technological translations, with imagery from weather patterns, climate models, and futuristic landscapes. Kalina grew up in Poland and has actively exhibited her works in the US, Poland, Germany, Canada, and Japan. Her recent commissions include a three-dimensional installation for the San Juan Island Museum Atrium and large murals for Meta Open Arts and Google’s Artist in Residence.
