Topic of the month

We paint what we cannot hold

What is love, if not something we spend our whole lives trying to understand? What is love, if not the most romantic lie we tell ourselves? Something we chase, something we crave, something we fear. Painted in red, wrapped in ribbons, sold in heart-shaped boxes as if love itself could be that simple. As if it could be bought. As if it could be held. But is it ever? How often do we fall in love with the idea of love, rather than the reality of it? We imagine it to be perfect,

Is the Mona Lisa worth the hype?

You probably know one of the most famous (if not the most famous) paintings in the world - Mona Lisa. But… have you ever thought about why it is so popular? It may seem like a normal, ordinary portrait that every artist should be able to replicate. So why is it everywhere? What’s so special about that painting? Da Vinci, Leonardo. The Mona Lisa.

To reflect is to feel- how did Chełmoński manage to capture autumn so well?

“We garner this poor hour of ease, Until love turn from us and die Beneath the drear November trees.” Ernest Dowson Autumn, especially its latter months like November, are the time for us to tie loose threads and prepare for upcoming stoicity. With winter approaching we slow down, reflect and feel more- I believe it to be so, as when we transition from a busy lifestyle of past months to peacefulness of winter, in this small time interval, we have the most room to ponder and r

Bookmarked Realities

What is the individual's role in society?

I mean: what are we to each other? A gear? A witness? A prop in someone else’s story? Or something quieter an excuse the group uses to feel coherent. Society loves roles the way a stage loves costumes. They spare us the embarrassment of improvisation. If you are “the leader,” you speak. If you are “the clown,” you soften the room. If you are “the serious one,” you carry the weight so everyone else can pretend it isn’t there. The strange part is that we often put on these cos

I want to hug Szymborska

I’ve always wanted to meet a writer, an artist. Not for an autograph, not for a photo. My dream was a conversation: why they write, what art is for. Why write at all, when life can be so shamelessly incomprehensible. During a conversation with my one and only “poet,” I realized that what I really want is to hug Szymborska. It was hard to decide whether I needed her more, or she needed me. But it’s probably me who needs her. Kubik, Mariusz. “Photograph of Wisława Szymborska (

The temperature at which paper burns 451°F

By four o’clock the day is already slipping away when I leave school and the sky is red along the horizon, smoke held in the cold air like a breath no one lets go. I think of fire, of firemen who burn houses, books, ideas. No one shouts. No one protests. Somewhere there is only a whisper, thin as a page, carrying a book out of the blaze. I read “Fahrenheit 451” in November. It’s a small excuse for a theme, maybe, but the world outside matched the pages inside. The colours of

Are killer whales really so murderous?

The name killer whale certainly shows the species in a bad light.The orcas are of course quite intimidating animals with the fact that they are the largest member of the Delphinade family(dolphins) and they make a perfect example of an apex predator. But is the title and reputation truly deserved? If not, how did the species earn it and what is it really like? You will find the answer to these questions in the rest of this article.

Every person who has ever been to a fast food place knows the torture that is drinking from a paper straw.

''Month of fashion'' time of over consumptionism or moment for art and history

How can “U” find the truth in debates about nuclear energy?

Have you ever seen tons of emotional comments on social media on the topic of nuclear energy or maybe even heard a debate on TV about it? This alternative to fossil fuel is often associated with huge disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima which have become a popular theme in pop culture. These events significantly worsened the reputation of this energy source. Despite this, it is still one of the most developed alternative energy sources and is responsible for around 9% of al

Why art speaks when words fail

There is no denying that “why art speaks when words fail” is not a poetic exaggeration, but a universal truth. Language may feel insufficient and unable to capture the whole weight of what we feel. How is it even possible that words which are something we rely on constantly, can suddenly seem so inadequate when our emotions run deep? Why do words feel too rigid, too narrow, or too limited to fully capture what we are enduring? For instance, grief does not arrive in neat sente

The mind adrift in the scroll of modern life

It is inevitable that our century is defined by the scroll. Phones rarely leave our hands, social media quietly exists in the background of almost every moment of our lives. We already know this. We acknowledge the fact that we spend too much time online, even that scrolling on TikTok or Instagram, especially before bed, is perhaps not good for us. These facts are familiar due to the fact that we talk about them openly, sometimes even joke about them. However, we still contin

Beneath the falling leaves: Why autumn makes us feel deeply.

It has been claimed that November moves quietly between the warmth of fading colours and the approaching chill of winter. Whispers drift through the air, and beneath the falling leaves, something inside us changes. As the days shorten, the world slows in a way that makes us overthink certain aspects. There is no doubt that this season causes us to feel deeply, perhaps in ways we are unable to truly explain. We may ask ourselves: ‘Why does this season affect us that much? How
