Kozicki's series of paintings is the story of two traumatic days spent in Warsaw custody. The artist views the city streets from a police car, he has limited access to information and medicines necessary for proper functioning. He feels as if he were in a space of systemic oppression that dehumanises detainees. Receiving legal aid or being able to smoke a cigarette turn into great achievements. As the artist recalls: "Between the procedures and the angry yellow walls of the detention centre, there is only the naked life of calling for medical help only in serious cases".
