Marcin Rusak. His work fascinates me, it would be nice to take a look under the hood of his work, so to speak.

What or who has inspired you lately and why?

Autumn skies, shadows and reflections. They have such a lightness about them.

What music or books are you listening to/reading these days? Who are some of your favorite musicians/writers?

All Them Witches, Talking Heads, Fink, Big Thief. I've read Svatava by Jolanta Trojak, and Stalker.

What album or song would you choose as the soundtrack to your personal life or creative process?

Call me star by All Them Witches.

When you think about your work/design, do any particular emotions come to mind?

Freedom.

What are your favorite places?

My favorite place is in the national gallery where there are a lot of fossils, the bike route to Okor, the Tatras, Slavia cafe, Artic bakehouse, and the view from Divoká Šárka.

What is your favorite travel destination and why?

I like to travel to the mountains in general. I feel connected to myself, to nature, to the earth. It's also my biggest source of inspiration.
