"IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW, DON'T TAKE IT"
With the series "If you don't know how, don't take it", Alina strives to draw our attention to what is deeply hidden inside us. Those phrases that we heard in childhood and that may continue to influence our lives today.


Phrases like: look at who you look like, boys don't cry, they don't marry people like you, you'll grow up to be a janitor, have been heard by almost every one of us. They teach us to be nice and comfortable for others, but not for ourselves.


Tights in this series were chosen as a symbol of similar phrases. Alina remembers how uncomfortable and prickly they were as a child, but they were still forced to "put on themselves."


The characters in the series urge us to return to childhood and remember these phrases, attitudes that our inner child still believes in. Accept and realize their harm. And then you can playfully and ironically show them your tongue and leave them, for example, in the bathroom and symbolically wash them off with water from your memory.

The "Child of Alcohol" series
The "Child of Alcohol" series was art-therapeutic. Alina depicted the memories of her childhood, at a time when her parents suffered from alcohol addiction. Unfortunately, alcohol is often present in families, but few people think about what kind of trace it leaves on children. Even when it seems that everything is harmless, the child can see it differently. By publishing these paintings, Alina received a huge response and support. She was surprised by how many people faced the same problem, and some even decided to share their story for the first time. It is important for Alina to support all those who have been through this and to say that it is not a shame to talk about it, but it is very important!After all, our pains and fears don't just go away, but remain in our memory. If you ignore them, they start to "scream" with the help of diseases. Acknowledging and facing your fear is the first step to healing.
