Katarzyna about her research: 

"The structure of modern society tends to categorize people into groups based on labels. Language, with its inherent power, assigns meaning and significance to these labels, whether positive, negative, or neutral. The interpretation of these labels is highly context-dependent, shaped by factors such as origin, location, culture, life experiences, trauma, and even inexplicable elements like dopamine levels or subconscious biases.

​

Labels have the capacity to both unite and divide. This research, therefore, seeks to explore and express diversity by first highlighting what unites us, fostering empathy and understanding. Simultaneously, it investigates theoretical frameworks surrounding identity formation asking: How do labels-both self-imposed and externally assigned-shape our understanding of ourselves and each other? What resides within the common ground that unites us beyond these categories?

I believe that bridging differences, promoting inclusive practices, and embracing diversity are essential steps toward developing a society enriched by multiple forms of expression. Only by understanding different perspectives can we truly evolve as humanity and fostering a more compassionate, equitable, and interconnected world."
