My father, Leszek Nowaczyk, died of liver failure (a consequence of alcohol abuse). I lost him when I was sixteen. I remember the day he died as one of the most beautiful days of my life. Over time, I began to get used to his absence. At \ufb01rst, I felt relief\u2014no more arguments, shouting, or violence at home. As the years passed, I forgot about him more and more, as if I were erasing his existence. And yet, the feeling of emptiness never left me.<\/h4>\n<p>In early 2023, while searching the attic of our family home, I came across my father&#8217;s journal titled Dark Thoughts. I also found hundreds of photographs and letters. As I went through them, I realized I had never truly known him. He had once been a sensitive man, a poet, an excellent photographer, a caring husband, and most of all\u2014a loving father. Though I missed his love, I now know he never stopped loving us.<\/p>\n<p>The death of my grandfather (who passed away on my father\u2019s sixth birthday), being raised by a despotic, communist grandfather, and the absence of a mother\u2019s care left wounds in him\u2014wounds that, in some way, were passed on to me.<\/p>\n<p>Even though he caused me a lot of pain, I am proud of him, and I hope he would be proud of me too.<\/p>\n<p>The Dark Thoughts project is my attempt to come to terms with my father\u2019s image, but also to \ufb01nd myself. I\u2019ve always felt like I was chasing something, even though I never knew what. This project is my answer to that search.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, it began as my master\u2019s thesis at the Commission of National Education Universi-ty in Krak\u00f3w. It was accompanied by a photo book of the same title. But I feel that not eve-rything has yet been uncovered, and my relationship with my father is still evolving. That\u2019s why I continue to develop the project\u2014and as it changes, so do I.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PPF2026-8-34-02-Jakub-Nowaczyk.jpg\"><img
