Fallen Angels
Jaroslav captures a moment of suspension between darkness and light, between descent and ascension. The Promise of Dawn embodies rebirth, a promise of renewal conveyed through the graceful posture of this angelic figure, hovering at the threshold between the earthly and the ethereal.
The body, sculpted through meticulously frozen liquid projections, seems to both collapse and rise, oscillating between surrender and resilience. The wings, spread wide in a fluid embrace, appear both powerful and fleeting, illustrating the precarious balance between hope and despair. The angel, in its delicate motion, evokes the fragility of transition—from night to day, from past to an uncertain future.
The use of milk as the primary medium amplifies this duality: a symbol of purity, life, and nourishment, it here becomes an unstable element, echoing the ephemeral nature of existence. Jaroslav plays with this tension, offering a work where every suspended droplet tells a story of loss and renewal.
Fallen Angels
Few photographic series capture both profound suffering and artistic transcendence as powerfully as Fallen Angels by Jaroslav Wieczorkiewicz. Blending fine art, mythology, and high-speed photography, this evocative work explores grief, trauma, and resilience through a unique visual language.
Inspired by personal loss—his mother’s cancer, his father’s depression, and a miscarriage within a year—Fallen Angels is a cathartic expression, externalizing sorrow while inviting viewers to confront their own experiences. Wieczorkiewicz sculpts suffering into form, using his signature technique of photographing splashes of milk and paint in motion. These fluid, ephemeral wings symbolize the fragile balance between celestial grace and human fragility.
Technically ambitious, the series combines high-speed photography with advanced digital compositing, layering hundreds of images into each composition. Beyond its striking aesthetic, Fallen Angels is a meditation on resilience, portraying figures caught between flight and descent, seeking light amid darkness.
Acclaimed for its originality, the series cements Wieczorkiewicz’s status as a pioneer in liquid photography, transforming the ephemeral into the eternal.
