Alexander, born in 1992 in Ottawa, is a Polish-Canadian documentary photographer and artist whose work aims to reveal the nuances of everyday life. His aim is to engage with subjects dialectically – to establish rapport and dignify their presence within overarching stories. He is interested in ontological questions, memory and identity. Documentary strategies include the compilation of performative, candid and collaborative approaches. He completed his BA in Documentary Photography at the University of South Wales in Cardiff, Wales, in 2020. Currently, he is undertaking his MA in Photography at Aalto University in Espoo, Finland.
