The series of 10 editorial illustrations in Jagoda Ratajczak’s “Języczni” creates a captivating visual narrative that delves into the intricacies of language science. The book’s artwork serves as a personal commentary on the written word, posing thought-provoking questions such as “Are we truly ourselves when speaking in a foreign language?” and “Why is it so hard to express feelings in another language?” Through the use of traditional collage techniques and a simplified duotone color palette, the illustrations offer an engaging visual journey that pays homage to the Polish School of Book Illustration, with its rich cultural heritage. The elegant style and intricate attention to detail imbue “Języczni” with a timeless quality and create a contemporary take on classic academic book illustration. ISBN:978-83-66147-32-4
