Modern Addictions Are Depicted In These Digital Mash-Up Artworks, Showcasing That Nobody Is Free To Be Considered An Addict
“Fast Dependencies and Sweet Addictions” are the names of these two, tri-set artworks series, mixing up prescription drugs and day-to-day goods. Expressing how the addictions are not only related to the drugs itself, and modern “narcotics” are reachable to anyone that can stand in front of a counter with a few bucks and no prescriptions on any convenience store or food court.
This is a personal project and social criticism created to exalt the double-standard that reigns in these modern days. Sometimes simple trends turns out to be more addictive than some controlled medicaments.

I think the difference is that some addictions are merely instant gratifications that serve no other purpose. The drugs, while addictive, do serve a purpose. Is it worse to be addicted to Vicodin or live with debilitating pain? Truth is, there is no good answer to that question. Comparing a prescription drug to a scoop of ice cream is a faulty comparison.
It would be great if BP allowed people to edit their comments. I reread the article and have a better sense of where you're coming from. I still don't necessarily agree with the comparisons as I don't believe you can honestly compare the addictive power of an amphetimine to a soft drink. Still, after a second reading, I do have a better sense of your intent.

And that is what I'm always telling.... Everyone has his addiction but not all addictions are visible to everyone, but I thind every addiction is bad. Mine is definitely coffee, and it become more physical as I get headche when I don't drink it... My husband gets grumpy when not eating at least 4 bars of chocolate and joghurt today... What's wrong with us people???
