Beautiful, but meaningless: this is how the artist's creative installation can be characterized Beverly Fishman, which is called Addict … Bright glass pills of unrealistic size, spread out on the floor and tables in the glass room - it all looks just like that. Beverly Fishman believes that no matter how hard we resist, pills eventually become an integral part of our life, be it drugs, or supplements or the most common vitamins. And this means that you need to treat them accordingly: with love, respect and admiration. That is why the pills in the Addict art project look so attractive, elegant and stylish things.
But if real pills are mainly beneficial to the body, and some people cannot live a day without their medicine, glass pills from this colorful installation are needed only for decorative purposes. For example, to decorate the interior of a pharmacy or a hospital hall, a showcase of a pharmacy supermarket, and for similar purposes. The only thing that cannot be taken away from an unusual art project is its originality and attractive, colorful appearance. If they were real, it would be easier for parents to persuade the child to swallow the medicine, and for the child to take it for granted.
