Her artistic activity related to unique fabric was reactivated in 2015 after several dozen years of break. She made her debut with traditional religious tapestries. Today, its characteristic, original fabrics are a combination of traditional weaving techniques with the innovative use of non-standard materials - electric cables, paper, clothing, leather and other raw materials. Tapestries usually touch upon the themes of interpersonal, social and cultural relations, and above all they treat the existential condition of a man - his place, history and individuality in the surrounding world. Original technical solutions and a subtle selection of topics were awarded in the MUZA competition - Magdalena Abakanowicz 2015 and in the 5th National Gobelin Contest of 2015.
