Down The Drain - Welcome To The 21st Century
About This Work
In this work, I explore the downfall of modern society. How we, as a collective, have become so distracted by social media and other forms of useless entertainment that we fail to see what's really happening in this world. But who cares..... Do you?
The indifferent drug addict I painted in the bottom left corner serves as a stark representation of this apathy. He exists in a daze, numbed and detached. Much like the broader population. We're anaesthetised, whether by substances, entertainment, or empty political promises.
As the world continues its mad descent into chaos, the figures in this composition can be seen in frantic motion, desperate to get away from a society spiralling through a sea of of its own filth - Down the drain. . .
