Prescription Still Life

13 November 2010 1,094 views No Comment

These images are inspired by the dutch vanitas paintings from the 17th century.  Elements that are adopted from the dutch paintings are lighting,  composition, and the use of symbolism. In my work, I am showcasing how our society has become overtly dependent on prescription medication. The images speak of mortality, health, frutility of life, addiction, and alternative medicines.
