Prison of Addiction

2023

Inspired by my work at a residential rehabilitation center and my own experience with addiction, I created relief prints expressing the pain of being trapped in addiction. I aim to create work that allows viewers to explore new perspectives and find their own resonance with the piece, so I chose to put the viewer inside of the cell. I hope to give viewers a glimpse into the fear and agony of the struggle of no longer wanting to use, but feeling trapped in addiction and unable to stop.
