Fallen Angels
In Wings of Resilience, Jaroslav deconstructs the traditional image of the angel by celebrating inner strength and the diversity of bodies. Here, ascension is not depicted as a leap toward the heavens but as a grounded, serene, and self-assured presence. Far from idealized representations, this figure reclines in an introspective, almost meditative posture, affirming a resilience that is not defined by physical grandeur but by self-acceptance.
The choice of milk—a fluid, nurturing element—emphasizes the coexistence of fragility and gentleness with power. The wings, more organic and imperfect than in other works of the series, do not stretch outward in a triumphant motion but hover in the background, serving as a symbol of potential rather than action.
Jaroslav offers a fresh perspective on angelic iconography: a body that defies classical ideals, a posture that does not seek dominance but instead embraces existence in its fullest form. This is an homage to invisible scars, internal battles, and the beauty of resilience that needs no validation.
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.
