Photography

Pawel Konkol

I’m a Polish artist based in Ireland, working across photography, video, and visual storytelling. My interest in photography began early, introduced to it by my grandfather, an amateur photographer with a deep love for capturing everyday moments. But it wasn’t until I started college that I picked up a camera seriously and began using it as a tool to explore the world around me more intentionally. My work is shaped by a curiosity about people, places, and the tensions that sit beneath the surface of daily life. I’m particularly drawn to cultural, social, and ethical themes, and I use storytelling as a way to reflect on how we experience, interpret, and relate to each other. Whether working on film sets, collaborative projects, or personal series, I aim to create imagery that feels thoughtful, emotionally honest, and visually strong—work that holds space for both quiet observation and deeper conversation.

Metanoia

Metanoia is a narrative-driven artist film and photography series that explores psychological fracture and transformation. Taking its name from the Greek μετάνοια—meaning profound internal reversal—this work navigates the liminal space between breakdown and renewal. Rooted in cinematic tableau and constructed imagery, it follows a fragmented self’s descent into the psyche, confronting redemption’s nonlinear, often grotesque journey. 

Intertwining religious iconography and psychological archetypes, Metanoia employs an ambiguous visual language, suspending time to interrogate belief structures and the performance of suffering. It crafts a hyperreal yet haunted world, blending narrative with symbolism. Rather than portraying healing as triumph, the work suggests a radical freedom found in grace—the ability to confront one's deepest fractures and embrace transformation. Through suspended theatricality and existential inquiry, Metanoia examines the delicate boundary between faith and delusion, transcendence and psychosis, illuminating the nuanced struggle toward renewal. 

Divine Revelation

Divine Revelation explores the subtle, often overlooked ways the divine reveals itself in everyday human experience. Rooted in Christian iconography yet extending beyond dogma, the project reframes sacred encounter as something accessible to all—ordinary people in ordinary moments, caught in quiet states of seeking, doubt, or reflection. Through carefully staged yet intimate tableaux, the images gesture toward a spiritual presence that is elusive yet profoundly felt. Rather than illustrating scripture, the work evokes the atmosphere of revelation: a space where the sacred and mundane converge.  

These figures are not saints, but searchers—fragile, fractured, yet open to transformation. The divine here is not imposed but encountered, emerging in the small spaces of daily life. At its core, Revelation is both a personal and collective reckoning—a visual meditation on faith, longing, and the human impulse to connect with something greater. It invites viewers to witness, not preach; to feel, not resolve.
