Kama Sokolnicka`s works have been mainly focused on processes connected with place, territory, image as a function of memory, emotions, perception, necessity of orientation in surrounding and horror vacui phenomenon. She oscillates between observing and being inside/inward. She uses various media in order to analyze relations among space, human beings and objects: everything what happens between those elements is significant, what is immanent in them is less important. Those relations are being reflected in forms and materials which Sokolnicka uses.
