I Dim The Sun So That Dusk Arrive Earlier
The discourse of addiction is an aspect of the series that I explore. I anchor my narrative on a parallel between the human’s mental and emotional health, and one of the planet. Despite the proven scientific fact that synthetic materials – like plastic – are harmful to the eco-system, human’s folly persists at an unfathomable level.
Similarly, in spite of boycotting harmful pharmaceutical medicine, people convince themselves that certain medicines – like antibiotics – are not efficient anymore and that stronger doses are required. Drugs, like plastic, are clearly pervasive.
“Our life depends on these medicines, just like the flowers depicted in the series depend on the plastic to protect their fragile petals.”
This series prompts viewers to reflect on the fragility of life and reveals how blissfully dependent humans are on non-organic and artificial matters.
