Winter Dessert 

Iwo Zaniewski made this piece, titled 'Winter Dessert,' using an unknown medium to evoke a domestic scene. Zaniewski's artistic journey began in Poland during an era of political transition, it is impossible not to see that legacy here. This is not a formal portrait but is rather, more of a snapshot of a lived moment; a figure stands contemplative, holding what appears to be a baked dessert, set against the backdrop of a winter landscape. The interior is cast in a warm, gentle light which contrasts with the cold world outside. The figure, seemingly caught in a moment of reflection, appears to be suspended between the domestic space and the outside world. Zaniewski asks us to reflect on our own positions in society and to embrace those personal moments of introspection in our daily lives.
