Thinking about how to further indulge in my concept, I started off thinking and reflecting on why I chose addiction, what made me chose it? Well the subject interests me because I struggle to understand how an addiction can completely brainwash someone, it takes over and has so much authority over one person. Willpower is key, I like to educate myself on the effects of drugs and how an addiction is a downwards spiral that someone descends into. I decided to do a response to this thought, I used photos of garments that I saw and liked when trend searching, in dover street. I used these photos and removed parts of the garments and replaced it with cigarette butts, damaged lungs through smoking and smoke. my message for these experiments was a question to smokers… would you wear these disturbing images on your clothes. After asking friends and family members, and myself, the answer was ovibiously NO! so if you wouldn’t let it happen or show it the outside, why let it happen to your inside? what about the sight of your lungs? the damage it does to your health? it is a message to stop your addiction to ‘save you health’.
