Capsules

"Capsules" is a series of sculptures and compositions focusing explicitly on medicinal connotations using my medium of plastic bottle tops. As part of my current transitional ideologies of discourse in my practice I purposely moved away from having a direct and obvious political stance on environmental damage caused my the mediums I used. I had ideas to be more implicit which still is a large portion of my practice, however, while in quarantine I questioned whether by being less direct with one topical discussion, could I implement another. In this case, could I focus on the medium of plastic and how it corresponds to the world of medicine? Through colour connotations, symbols and bottle tops specifically designed for medicine. I wanted to explore whether an audience would understand this and share an emotional attachment to it through their own associations or would it be something personal to me as I have grew up with these objects around me.
