About

My name is Wojciech. Welcome to my website. I intend to share some art and thoughts (preferably more of the first one).

If you’re familiar with the Dead Internet theory you may sympathize with efforts of bringing content in such old school form.

Why art

As a kid I loved painting and drawing.

What is jestwo

Since Wikipedia offers the explanation only in Polish, here’s a quick Gemini translation:

Jestestwo is an obsolete, polysemous (multi-meaning) Polish philosophical term. It is a nominalization (noun form) of the verb “to be” (być); variant forms such as jesteństwo and jestwo are also documented (in Linde’s dictionary). It can be found in Polish philosophy up until the 19th century, including in the works of Stanisław Staszic. It could signify either a living being or existence, being, and entity. Currently, it also functions as one of the Polish translations of the philosophical term Dasein (by Bogdan Baran), though other translation proposals also exist (such as przebywanie—“abiding/dwelling”—by Wawrzyniec Rymkiewicz).

In the process of looking for a domain – I wished for something not too personal. While also pointing at a range of topics that could be home to self-expression and documenting thoughts – I simply went for the simpler archaic zen like word in Polish language. I like etymology too, so someone could count me as a word nerd.

Also – as a teenager I really fell in love with graffiti. Jestwo sounded like something I could have totally used back then as my tag!
