 "HUMAN FEELINGS AS DRUGS"
I've realised I had been witnessing for a long time a lack of feelings, those feeling that are the base of human interaction, cooperation and well-being generally.
Although human interactions and feelings always find a way to be expressed, the hectic lifestyle we are immersed in making things more difficult, and the high stress levels sometimes lead people to find recovery using medications, pain-relief drugs and so on...
 
The high street market offers a complete range of drugs that should help people recover from a huge variety of illnesses and their symptoms...
But what if those symptoms were only a lack of satisfaction on a spiritual level?
I have created a series of alternative medicines, vials that contain concentrated amounts of human feelings and ways of interaction such as love, empathy, peace...
I wish they could really work!...
But my aim is to show them as a reminder of what sometimes are the only necessary things to live a better and brighter life.
