Joanna Ambroz is a painter, researcher, and book designer whose work delves into taboo subjects, relationships, and personal discomforts. She emphasizes simplicity and metaphor to express profound ideas. Her artistic process is deeply rooted in self-reflection, using visual and conceptual exploration to challenge inhibiting and destructive behaviors.

Repressed emotions do not lead to the problem disappearing or being worked through. In the worst case – instead of showing what hurts

– we destroy our own sensitivity.

Sensitivity – an intangible thing, not something that can be easily patched, replaced, or traded in for something new. I ask myself – is it possible to repair damaged sensitivity – or is it irreversibly broken, with the pain resurfacing again and again in moments that echo the past?

The daily act of choosing gentleness. Perhaps the question isn’t whether sensitivity can be fixed – but how to live with it fully, when it’s been strained, and the once innocent part of us has caught a fever.
