This drawing depicts a giant looming faceless figure. Sat on a mountain side at the foot of a seaside town. He is casting a line from his giant rod and catching a man in a suit, as the tiny towns people go about their daily business. This piece considers those pushed to society’s margins. People labelled, excluded, or unable to conform to the standards imposed on them. When society is viewed under the microscope, the act of casting a metaphorical line to entice the vulnerable becomes a commentary on how addiction takes root. The work underscores that addiction is not simply a fringe issue but a reflection of the societal conditions that help sustain it.
