Iwo Zaniewski's "Flat" presents a domestic space, a collection of rooms inhabited by vivid colors and suggestive forms. Light, whether natural or artificial, dominates the image: a potent symbol that has illuminated countless artworks across millennia. Consider the symbolism of light in Caravaggio's religious paintings, where it's used to denote divine intervention, or in the Dutch Masters’ still lifes, where it illuminates everyday objects with profound significance. Here, the light is more mundane, yet it evokes the same human fascination with illumination. The contrast between light and shadow creates depth, but it also speaks to the hidden, the unseen aspects of our lives. The rooms, seen in partial view, also invite a psychological interpretation; are they spaces of comfort, contemplation, or confinement? Such symbols are not fixed. They transform, taking on new meanings as they journey through time, adapting to cultural shifts and the collective subconscious. Light, in this flat, reminds us that even in the most ordinary settings, the human psyche seeks meaning, projecting its fears, hopes, and dreams onto the surrounding world.
