This will "cure" all my problems

Hey, Guys!

This conceptual artwork is inspired by the song "Пьяным чем обманутым" ('Drunk Rather Than Deceived') by the Russian singer Sergey Lazarev and aims to show a person's dependence on harmful substances. In my work, I wanted to convey the emotions of a person, such as despair, hopelessness, being lost, and loneliness. One drink follows another, and so on endlessly. The person tries to drown out the voices and thoughts in their head, thinking that this will solve all their problems. However, harmful substances are not a solution, but only exacerbate the problems and make them even worse.

As a reference, I used a photo from a photoshoot by Sergey Lazarev (photographer: Daniil Velichko, original photos) dedicated to the song 'Drunk Rather Than Deceived.' The green color is often associated with substances and drugs, which can also provide an additional association with the content of my artwork.

As a source of inspiration, I chose mojito: an alcoholic drink containing mint and lime. I believe that this drink (especially the lime and mint) fits very well into the green palette of the artwork.
