Take 2 & Call Me in the AM

🖤 Gallery-style reflection
Take Two of These…
This work uses the visual language of medicine to portray distress as something ingested rather than spoken. Two metallic skulls dissolve in water like tablets, suggesting how pain is often treated as a dosage instead of a dialogue. The image reflects a culture that seeks relief while leaving the source of suffering unexamined.

🧠 Clinical / conceptual perspective
Take Two of These…
Through pharmaceutical symbolism and imagery of mortality, this piece explores how emotional distress is frequently managed through chemical intervention rather than human connection. The dissolving skulls imply that what is consumed to quiet pain may also diminish the self. The work questions whether treatment has begun to replace understanding.
