Agata Grela’s work explores the uncanny through a series of binaries that she encounters in her everyday life, namely: Polish/English, Folkloric Mythology/Historical Truths, Traditional Craft/Modern Technological Processes, Wilderness/Urbanity, Utopian Belief/Nihilism and Reason. In doing so, she explodes these supposed polarities by revealing their dialectical relationships. Places of darkness and perceived infiniteness such as forests and jungles, as well as characters that forcibly remove themselves from their milieus, form an essential backdrop to these explorations  (...).

Agata turned towards Polish folklore as a way of challenging her diasporic anxieties by again using the process of the uncanny as a way of exploding the polarity between reality and myth, or the ideology of nationhood and real social relations.
