Flies

  • Photographer
    Agnieszka Szpak

A fragile woman curls within a gilded frame, her body eerily still as flies gather on her. The insects symbolize internal decay - unspoken trauma and thoughts that corrode from within. Her beauty masks a quiet collapse. Trapped in ornate surroundings, she reflects the tension between societal ideals and silent suffering. “Flies” contemplates how the deepest forms of corruption often remain unseen beneath the surface.

Born in Krosno Odrzanskie, Poland, I began my photographic journey in 2022 at a local academy. Over time, I grew into a voice drawn to people - their quiet stories, their hidden shades. Photography, for me, is about creating a space where something honest can surface. Shaped by years of exploring painting, I now carry that same sensitivity into photography - seeking the space where reality softens and something more intimate begins to speak.
