Templates of Chance

"Overcoming addiction is a slow and personal process, involving all our strengths and vulnerabilities. Relapse is not a failure, but a necessary part of the long journey towards change.
During a series of conversations with the Drug & Alcohol Task Force in Tallaght, it became clear that people needed a physical symbol for this journey, to visualise and hold in their hand the path they've travelled. These tokens represent victorious moments: 10 years, 5 years, 1 year, 6 months, and perhaps most importantly, the first day—the day of decision and action (« Take the risk or lose the chance »).
Five tokens were designed, each stamped with symbolic figures and mantras. These tokens are now given in exchange for significant personal achievements in Tallaght's communities.
