Marzena Abrahamik (Polish, b. 1978; resides in Chicago) In Ice Water, Marzena Abrahamik presents a vibrant blue and yellow still life arrangement, weaving glass bottles and orbs among lemons, candles, flowers, and a large backdrop of a billowing mushroom. The image is serene and playful. Abrahamik carefully chooses these objects based on her interest in how certain plants and foods can alter levels of oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin—hormones responsible for feelings of well-being and bonding. Abrahamik received her BA in Political Science and Philosophy from Loyola University and her MFA in Photography from Yale University. Her work has been exhibited at Aperture, New York; the Silver Eye Center for Photography, Pittsburgh; and the Gallery of Classic Photography, Moscow. She is the recipient of the John Ferguson Weir Award, the PACC, and the IAS Artist Project Grant. Her work is included in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and Haas Family Art Library at Yale University.
