Apolonia Ptak, a poet, reporter and painter, in her latest book "Quadrilateral Triangle" invites the reader to a world of subtle observations and deep reflections. With extraordinary sensitivity, the author collects scattered crumbs of other people's and her own days to save them from oblivion. She arranges fragments of the lives of the people described, creating a mosaic of human fates that move and inspire.

In the introduction, the author admits that this story is only a sketch of a few human figures, barely outlined by her weak hand. It's like opening someone else's door, entering without wiping your shoes, and then retreating without a word. Or dreaming, waking up and remembering only fragments. However, Apolonia Ptak ventured to present the mentioned figures in an indecently short outline, aware that each person deserves a much more extensive and not always true book.

Reaching for many sources written by someone else's hand, it is easy to distort the truth. Therefore, the author chose only those images and words that she received in direct contact with the person. Out of respect for him, she thinks. Maybe this is the best way? But is it really? Or just mark a trace of someone's presence? A flash of existence in the immeasurable space. As long as this spark is burning.
