I’m a researcheuse, model, and photographer—working at the intersection of art, cognitive science, embodiment, and observation. My creative practice is deeply inspired by the quiet intensity of Edward Hopper and the subtle poetics of Piotr Topolski. I believe that light, stillness, and gesture can tell stories words often can't. I am an anthropologist of mental health and cognitive artist merging science with art. In every collaboration, I offer more than just a camera—I bring thoughtful guidance, a sensitive eye, and creative ideas tailored to the unique presence of my collaborator.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel around the world to attend conferences and realize my documental photography projects. I like to meet new people, so I use Couchsurfing instead of formal accomodation.

Interests

I am a great fun of anthropology, cognitive science and linguistics. I dance a lot (contact improvisation) and create images in R. I lead a small artistic studio (https://kairidobosz.wixsite.com/kairiscorner) and write about mental health (https://kairidobosz.wixsite.com/dziennik-na-biegunac). You can find out more about my academic work on: https://jagiellonian.academia.edu/KalaDobosz.
