"Tombstone"

I have defined consumerism and many other pleasures as non-chemical “drugs.”  This expansion of the idea of a drug is based upon addiction (dependency) and negative effects of overuse. I consider this piece to be my wicked-awesome marketing for upcoming works which will address this concept directly.  The final print is glossy and very saturated.  We as consumers are encouraged and expected to project onto this image. Through my piece, the interpretation of the projection is as gruesome as the fantasy truly stands.
