Abstract
There are many definitions and ways of understanding the term “community”. It can be defined in terms of physical closeness, shared values, mutual obligations, interaction, belonging, solidarity, historical and hereditary permanence. Societies may exist or be in the process of being created, tangible or symbolic. In this text, a community will be defined as an unlimited community of shared physical location and collective experimentation. The starting point for building a sense of this community will be the loss of ontological security, the sense of the existence of threats beyond the area of direct experience. The study focuses on the idea of a traumatropic nuclear community and memories. In order to define them, I use the art by Polish artist, Monika Niweliska.
