The Antoni Engel tenement house at Piotrkowska Street 3 in Lodz, Poland had its courtyard decorated with a mosaic of cut mirrors in different shapes. This project was created as a part of the "Lodz of Four Cultures" Festival in 2014. The artist behind this installation is Joanna Rajkowska.

The Rose Passage is a unique project by artist Joanna Rajkowska, which was inspired by her daughter's illness, Rose. The project involved gluing small pieces of mirrors on the walls of a tenement house located at 3 Piotrkowska Street. The mirrors covered all the walls of the backyard, creating a sparkling and vibrant space. The light-reflecting mosaic also creates an illusion of disjointed and distorted images, symbolizing the broken state of the retina of an eye. The project aims to encourage people to piece together the fragments of reality, much like how Rose had to reconstruct her own vision after chemotherapy.
