He sits cross-legged, jeans torn, shoulders slumped, eyes dulled by exhaustion or endless waiting. Behind him rises the clean, clinical packaging of antibiotics, part savior, part illusion. He's stopped fighting, reduced to staring and hoping.
This transcends infection, exploring dependence and the aching trust we place in things promising relief. The figure embodies our relationship with salvation that comes in packages, whether pharmaceutical or otherwise. The contrast between his weathered vulnerability and the pristine medical packaging reveals the gap between human fragility and institutional promises.
The work captures that liminal space where hope and desperation converge, where even medicine wields power over the soul. It speaks to our universal need for something external to make us whole again.
