Jacek Czajkowski, Witness of the Ocean (PLACES 2026)

Carved by the waves and time, this extraordinary rock formation resembles an ancient creature stranded on the shore. Covered in barnacles and tiny shells, it seems to stare into the void with its deep, dark eye, serving as a silent witness to the power of the ocean and the inevitable passage of time. The black and white contrast emphasizes the raw texture and drama of this natural sculpture.
