This monograph explores the provocative and unsettling artwork of Polish artist Aleksandra Waliszewska. Waliszewska's paintings, often on cardboard, challenge traditional depictions of victimhood by portraying young girls as figures of aggression and domination rather than innocence needing rescue. The book delves into her unique artistic voice, which navigates cultural contexts and appeals to both institutional acclaim and youth counterculture. Through her work, Waliszewska questions societal moral boundaries by embracing themes of lawlessness and depravity.

This monograph is a significant contribution to understanding Aleksandra Waliszewska's distinctive artistic output, particularly her challenging reinterpretation of female archetypes. The inclusion of an essay by Lauren Cornell and its place within the '2000 Words' series suggest a critical and curated presentation of her work. The book is likely to be appreciated by those interested in contemporary art that pushes boundaries and engages with complex themes of power, innocence, and societal norms.
