The project serves as a deep exploration of the Christian community formed around the Arka Pana church, its intricate rituals, devoid of any superficial judgments that such groups often face. Simultaneously, it serves as an architectural study. The Ark of the Lord Church stands as one of the most fascinating examples of sacred architecture in Poland, and I portray it as a place that exists within both the celestial and cosmic realms. There is an otherworldly element within, extending beyond the confines of the Catholic religion. Yet, I also depict it as a space where ordinary, everyday activities transpire. The work captures the delicate interplay between the sacred, heavenly, and cosmic spheres and the mundane, down-to-earth realm. Thus, this film appears deceptively simple but offers a multifaceted perspective.
