The degree piece deals with the mother’s alcoholism and the use of art-therapy methods in the ACOA’s relationship with a parent with alcohol problems. The main element is an installation from birds made using the origami method from snapshots taken from family albums, which are the only copies of these photographs. The creation process was an attempt to work through painful memories of the past together. In addition, an audio-visual documentation of several months of art therapy with the mother is displayed.

The minor degree covers two elements – a newly created album intended to be a response to empty family albums, and a map of Warsaw with round-the-clock liquor stores marked red and help points marked blue – and puts the individual family problem in a larger dimension of the social problem affecting many families.
