“When We Were Young” is a haunting and poetic reflection on innocence, rebellion, and the passage of time. A figure in a soft green dress climbs over the bright yellow surface of a school bus — a potent symbol of childhood, rules, and structure. The dark background swallows the scene, turning this moment of play or escape into something ambiguous and charged. With expressive realism and psychological depth, Monika Kalinowska captures the tension between nostalgia and defiance — the fragility of youth and the longing to break free.
This work was selected for the BBA Gallery’s 10th Year Anniversary “Made in Berlin” Award, recognizing outstanding contemporary art created in the city.
