In beautiful colour pictures, the book presents the most important hitherto realised works of the artist: both her small glass sculptures, resembling precious stones (shown at the Gallery of the Polish Auction House "SZTUKA" in Cracow on an exhibition entitled Polyhedra. In Search of the Miraculous), and her sizeable usually open-air compositions - sculptures-installations (Adonalia, Cracow and Wrocław 1997; Labyrint Strictly Unlimited, Cracow 1998), the most recent of them being Daedalus and Icarus. The catalogue contains a richly-illustrated biography of the artist, as well as the list of individual and group exhibitions in which she participated, and finally - selected bibliography.
