She kneels, barely clothed, her gaze fixed on a blister pack of painkillers as if it holds salvation. The posture suggests submission, but this isn't about desire; it's about ache, craving, and the brutal poetry of needing something that might never heal. The pills hover like deities, their packaging transformed into an altar.
This transcends substance addiction, exploring addiction to escape, to silence, to anything that quiets internal noise. The work functions as both confession and temporary fix, revealing sacred desperation in moments of complete vulnerability. Through uncomfortable intimacy, the piece exposes how we worship our own destruction, finding beauty in what consumes us.
The installation captures that precise moment when pain and relief converge, where numbness becomes prayer, speaking to our universal tendency to seek solace in harmful places.
