Pawlak's figurative paintings and drawings have examined human attempts at connection by expressing our capacity to shift towards intimacy after long periods of unrest. It examines the discomfort with fully revealing oneself while subtly suggesting distance as a consequence of exposure.

'The body is an unyielding and fundamental expression of being: our innermost struggles and celebrations are recorded onto our physicality in the curve of a shoulder, the tilt of a head, the fade of a sigh. The body often communicates more honestly than we want it to; we are dressed in our histories and burdens like invisible skins.' - Elliat Albretch
