This was a SPECTACULAR exhibit! Michal’s work is truly remarkable and I’m glad I had the opportunity to see it. Michal plays with the abstract nature of architecture beautifully.

This was simply a fantastic exhibit! It really seems like Brooklyn inspired her and it is definitely seen it in her work!! The artist’s point of view is really strong and can be seen in the contrast between the hard lines of the architecture and the softness of the surroundings. Definitely a MUST SEE for sure!
