Marta Kassakowska
"I see your smile, I see you feeling touched, emotional, surprised, fulfilled, confident, shy, determined, hypnotized, loved, seen. I've seen your tear or two. I see you and your feelings in beautiful way. It's a blessing. It's an inspiration. It's an art. I document life, not just dancers."
