While these final images are not fully edited, I’ve chosen to include them in this form because they still speak strongly to the themes and visual rhythm I aimed to create. 

I’ve included them here because I feel they still capture the same outlook of what I’m trying to say visually. While working in Photoshop, I made some slight tweaks to bring out the vibrancy a bit more and to deepen the darker areas, just to give the images a little more presence and contrast. I didn’t want to overdo it, so most of the adjustments are subtle—like lifting the shadows in certain spots, slightly adjusting the color balance, and making minor changes to the exposure where it is needed. The goal was to enhance the natural texture and feeling of each image without stripping away their rawness.

The images themselves are a mix—some are close-up shots I’ve taken recently, while others are archival pieces that carry their own sense of history and weight. I think they work well together because, despite their differences in time and style, they all share a kind of intimacy and detail. Whether it’s a modern photo or an old one, each image feels like a small fragment of a larger story—something personal, textured, and a little imperfect, which is exactly what I wanted.

Even in their unfinished state, I think there’s something compelling about how they sit together on the page. and the sense of quiet cohesion is what makes them feel like part of the same stor.

That’s really what ties them all back to the title of this work: What connects us together? (translated from polish/Original Title “Co nas więżi razem?) It’s not about big, dramatic moments, it’s about the things we recognise. Familiar textures, memories, and quiet gestures that link people across time and space. The edits though being incomplete still allow the images to hold that connection. They’re fragments but together they form a bigger picture, one that speaks to relationships, history, and shared experience. These photos communicate something honest. They feel like pieces of a conversation some from the past, some from right now but all part of the same thread essentially .
