ABOUT
 

Marzena has a Diploma in Photography from the University of Applied Sciences Dortmund.
In her personal work she investigates the identity of places, which she translates into pictures that oscillate between inner and outer landscapes.

She is interested in the relationship between humans and nature.

Lately, her fascination with remote and inaccessible environments has brought her to the North, where she explores the lives of people living under demanding circumstances dominated by extreme weather.

In her editorial work she is interested in topics that focus on man-made climate change and the horrifying consequences of it.
