The artist adores Mother Earth and promotes her cult, referring to traditions from the Slavic worship of fertility. The Source is a kind of manifesto of ecofeminism, in which threads such as the cult of the water goddess and the love and admiration of fauna and flora, cognitive processes and spirituality, as well as a turn towards the fascination with primal beliefs and rituals and elements of nature in the human-nature relationship are all intertwined.

In her artistic practice, Brzeżańska uses various media such as painting, photography and ceramics and focuses on themes such as spirituality, the history of matriarchy, as well as beliefs and traditions from ethnic cultures. On the one hand, the artist draws inspiration from her travels to geographically and culturally distant places, and on the other — personal experiences resulting from direct contact with native folklore and nature.

Brzeżańska's workshop is an important element of her work. She uses handicrafts, especially ceramics. The Source is made of clay, which, in reference to ancient beliefs and cultures, also has a symbolic dimension.
