Monika Sosnowska is known for her large-scale installations that challenge the boundaries between sculpture and architecture. Her works explore the relationship between physical space and the emotional experience of it. She often uses traditional building materials such as rebar, concrete or steel beams to create deformed structures that can be perceived as crumbling, unstable or collapsed. Sosnowska often references historical buildings to convey stories of societies in transformation. Through her unique artistic language and use of architecture as an artistic material, Monika Sosnowska has established herself as one of the most prominent contemporary artists from Europe.

Sosnowska represented Poland at the Venice Biennale in 2007 and has participated in the Biennale on several other occasions. Her works have been exhibited at Centre Pompidou, Serpentine Gallery, Hayward Gallery, Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Sculpture Center New York, Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Museum of Modern Art Warsaw and Kunstmuseum Basel, among others. Sosnowska has participated in biennials in Shanghai and Sharjah, as well as Desert X AlUla. In 2003, Sosnowska was awarded the Baloise Art Prize and Paszport Polityki.

Her site-specific installation Fir Tree, created for the Public Art Fund in 2012, and was temporarily displayed at Doric C. Freedman Plaza.
