Information

"All That Glitters" captures the taboo yet glamorous allure of drugs that was impressed upon the "Just Say No" and D.A.R.E. generation through compulsory awareness education, which served both as warning and advertisement. The drugs in question now could be medicinal or recreational or both or something in between.

The very geometry of the piece is askew, tilted, and off putting. Pills scattered helter skelter, syringes emitting a near fluorescent glow, an orb of grass lost in the blue yonder, and bordered by the holographic beyond. All is not well and nothing as it should be.

The subtitle to this advert gone awry, "The Conditions of My Surrender", is embellished with near painful contrast to the holographic space it occupies. This is a familiar phrase but presented in a new light. Firstly, "Conditions" in the sense of the general state of one's existence. Then "Surrender" as a giving up, or letting go, of cares, concerns, hopes, fears, etc.

So, "The Conditions of My Surrender" is now the state of being in which one gives up to be carried along or swept away by the forces beyond their control, be it addiction, illness, or the simple euphoria of intoxication.
