A delicate constellation of molecular structures dangles in the void like a child’s mobile—except here, each form corresponds to a known chemical addiction: nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, THC, sugar, and dopamine-related stimulants. The playful minimalism masks the violence of dependence.
A wish for joy delivered through symbols of craving. The holiday spirit, often wrapped in excess and escapism, is reframed through the lens of consumer-driven euphoria.
With its pale lines and suspended composition, the piece evokes fragility—of the body, of balance, of agency. The faintness is intentional: it mirrors the subtlety with which dependence infiltrates routine, festivity, and identity. Almost imperceptible. Almost beautiful. But always hanging overhead.
