Audio On

Inspired by scenic anime landscapes and their vivid color palettes, "Self-Medicating" is an audiovisual commentary on substance abuse and the quick-fix nature of our society. On one hand, the music and scenery are quite bright and beautiful, but there's a darker theme to this work as you see from the figure lying limp against the tree.

We've been conditioned for that quick fix. Conditioned to solve our problems with pills, distractions, or escape mechanisms. We take the easy way out and miss out on opportunities for growth in the process. Part of the beauty in life isn't necessarily the end result, but the journey and trials overcome throughout it's course. By succumbing to our addictions and problem band-aids, we miss out on the opportunities to better ourselves and those around us. We miss out on the opportunity to see the beauty and magic happening just outside our limited world view.
