La Nature est un temple

(W8A3538)
by Zofia

Inspired by Stanisław Wyspiański's polychromes from 1895, the cabinet is crafted from raw, hand-carved oak, contrasted with a smooth, glossy surface achieved through the technique of straw marquetry. The piece combines elements of folk art with bourgeois aesthetics, evoking a narrative. A story about the shared and complex history of social classes, underscored by the artist's personal emotional involvement.
