“Earth is wealth and abundance, generously flooding us. It is diversity that inspires. Earth feeds us. It is our home and shelter, and when we die, we unite with it forever. Earth is fertility, it is mother. It is life.

We take care of the earth, but we also destroy and pollute it more and more, without thinking about our own life and the lives of other species. We protect it, but at the same time, at every step, we exploit it to the limits of our possibilities. We greedily tear up its resources, not caring that they are limited. We want more, faster and easier.

"From the same earth" is a story about people and the work of human hands, about learning about the material, respecting the matter, learning humility and improving. It is a lack of rush. These are objects that are made of natural materials. This is a place for chance and imperfection, which often turns out to be beautiful.

A story about the creative process, which is just as important as the final effect. It is, after all, a relationship between the work and the creator, which requires time, attention and patience.” - Eleonora Bojanowska
