‘Alicja Dobrucka’s evolving practice, temporarily stabilised and collected in her recent project, “I like you, I like you a lot”, powerfully encapsulates a double meaning of precariousness. Ostensibly a reflection on the artist’s and her family’s bereavement after the sudden tragic loss of her younger brother, the work opens up the personal space of mourning to broader affects and questions about vulnerability, youth, motherhood, domesticity and the passage of time.’
