Stillness in Motion
Limited Edition Print
Discover the artwork that launched Olga Ziemska Studio with this exclusive limited-edition photographic print of Stillness in Motion. Created in 2002 at the Center of Polish Sculpture in Poland, this site-specific environmental sculpture was meticulously created from hand-stacked locally reclaimed willow branches, forming the figure of a life-size standing woman.
As the first work in the artist’s ongoing series titled Stillness in Motion: The Matka Series, this piece explores the concept of place through the use of native trees, reflecting on themes of origin, connection, and transformation. The Polish word Matka means “mother,” symbolizing creation and our first physical environment—the womb. Featured in Sculpture Magazine in 2003, this artwork continues to resonate, finding new life across the internet every year and inspiring artists, nature lovers, and environmentalists worldwide.
This limited-edition print immortalizes a sculpture designed to return to nature, transforming its ephemeral beauty into a lasting, collectible piece. Each print is individually numbered and comes with an artist-signed Certificate of Authenticity. Once sold out, no additional prints will be produced.
Welcome this universal origin story into your space and bring environmental art indoors.

To ensure the longevity and preservation of your limited-edition prints on Hahnemühle Photo Silk Baryta X 310, follow these archival care and display guidelines:
STORAGE + HANDLING
Maintain a stable environment with 35-65% relative humidity and a temperature of 50-86°F (10-30°C).
Store prints in archival-quality envelopes, folders, or acid-free boxes to protect against dust and deterioration.
Handle with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves to prevent smudges, oils, and abrasions.
Use only archival-grade tapes and adhesives for mounting and framing.
Tip: The surface of the print is susceptible to abrasion—handle with care.
FRAMING + DISPLAY
Use UV-Protective Glass or Acrylic – Helps prevent fading from prolonged light exposure. Our custom frames include museum-grade UV-protective acrylic to ensure the longevity of your print.
Opt for Archival or Acid-Free Matting – Prevents direct contact with glass and moisture buildup. Our framing options feature high-quality acid-free matting for superior preservation.
Choose a Sealed, Sturdy Frame – Minimizes exposure to pollutants and humidity. Our custom frames are designed with airtight sealing and durable materials to offer the best protection for your artwork.
Tip: Avoid standard glass or plastic, as they can create condensation and accelerate deterioration. Our premium custom frames come with high-quality UV glass and provide the highest level of protection and aesthetic quality. Click Here for additional information.
LIGHT EXPOSURE + ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Avoid Direct Sunlight – Even with UV protection, prolonged exposure can cause fading. Our custom frames with UV-protective glazing offer an additional safeguard against harmful rays.
Use LED or UV-Filtered Lighting – Fluorescent and incandescent bulbs emit UV rays that degrade prints over time.
Keep Prints Away from Heat & Humidity – Avoid hanging near radiators, fireplaces, or damp spaces like bathrooms or basements.
Tip: Museum-grade glass or acrylic with 99% UV filtering is ideal for long-term display. Our custom framing options come with high-grade UV glass that meets museum-quality standards, ensuring maximum protection. Click Here for additional information.
CLEANING + MAINTENANCE
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean frames—never wipe the print surface directly.
To remove dust, use compressed air rather than a cloth or brush.
If removing the print from packaging, avoid touching the printed surface to prevent smudging or damage.
Tip: Rotate prints periodically if displayed in bright areas to minimize uneven exposure over time.
By following these archival care recommendations, your limited-edition prints will remain in museum-quality condition for generations.
