Zine!

Updated: Feb 11, 2022


The images in this zine represent how addiction can take over a person’s life. There is always a point when substances seem harmless for many, but this lifestyle can drastically change a person’s life and ultimately ruin it. The first three images on my zine represent the excitement of being submerged in the party atmosphere. It is fun and inviting until you are quite literally drowning. The fourth image is a woman sitting in the cocktail glass starting to disappear. This shows how alcohol and drugs swallow you before you even know it. The fifth image shows a girl sitting on the floor alone. There is a dangerous ambiance, signally the turning point of addiction. After this point, there is often no turning back; substances will completely alter a person’s life; they will put all their money and time into what they are still considering fun. The following image is dark yet still inviting. The older man symbolizes loneliness, but the women’s legs symbolize youth. Her foot is placed in the water to represent how addiction is always on a person’s mind. Once stepping down a wrong path, it can be nearly impossible to escape the overcoming need for addition. Lastly, there is an image of a protester with a pill as their head. This shows how substances will take over a person’s life. People will only see you as your addition, and it turns from a personal struggle to a lifelong struggle for the people surrounding you.
