SUCRALOVE
"Sucralove" is a conceptual photo-series on sugar addiction. Sugar is one of the most widely abused drugs on the planet, yet nobody acknowledges it as such. This series aims to portray the stages of the sugar addiction process as an analogue to the more "widely-accepted" addictive substances.
In this first image titled "Dopamine dreams", we have phase one, where the user first begins experimenting with the substance: it is fun, glamorous, sexy and alluring. We see a woman being consumed by candy in her bathtub, bearing an expression of dissociative bliss. This is only a foreshadowing of the more sinister stories to follow.
"Rock bottom" is the fourth and final image of the series. Our subject lying in the fetal position on a barren cold floor, we see an insulin pump connected at the thigh. His eyes are blank and we are unsure if he is alive or dead, perhaps he's suffering through the withdrawl period. A vibrant pool of gumball vomit accompanies our victim.
