Aga Luczakowska
After a few years away from photography—due in part to caring for my mother living with dementia—I am now returning with a renewed sense of maturity and dedication to my work. I’m currently focused on editing material from my years in Romania and developing new, more personal projects shaped by my experiences of the past few years.

Râsu’-plânsul / Ciudat
(Laughing through tears – human connections in a changing city)This project explores the profound human connections formed in the face of disconnection and displacement. After Romania’s communist era, thousands of families were uprooted from rural communities and relocated into blocuri—vast apartment complexes designed for uniformity. These concrete structures were meant to erase individuality, yet people responded by reshaping and personalizing them, creating improvised gardens, painted facades, and shared spaces that rebuilt a sense of belonging.
