Heroes is a photography project that seeks to celebrate the strength, resilience, and bravery of queer individuals in Poland who are navigating a hostile and homophobic society.

The project features portraits of queer people who are posed as ancient heroes and are accompanied by a narrative that tells their unique story and explores why they are heroes. Through these portraits and stories, the project aims to challenge negative stereotypes about the LGBTQ+ community and to highlight the courage and perseverance of these individuals.

In Poland, the LGBTQ+ community faces significant discrimination, harassment, and violence. The country has been marked by a rise in anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment in recent years, with many politicians and public figures making homophobic comments and advocating for discriminatory policies. Against this backdrop, the "Heroes" project serves as a powerful reminder that queer people are not victims, but rather heroes who are fighting for their rights and for a more just and inclusive society.

By combining classical imagery with modern identities and narratives, "Heroes" highlights the timeless and universal nature of the struggle for acceptance and equality. Through these portraits, we are reminded that queer people have always existed and always will, and that their stories deserve to be heard and celebrated.
