"In this image, I've evolved my previous work with pharmaceutical packaging and reduced the concept into its most basic elements.
The melancholy character exists within a pre-packaged and controlled pharmaceutical regime: 'Life' (registered of course). She further contemplates the span of her 'Life' to be of 100 tablets (the 'as advertised' human age limit).
The horizontal pink bar in the background, which is a common design element on drug packaging, mimics liquid - such that she is only just 'keeping her head above water' as the progression of 'Life' slowly fills the page to consume her."
