"Better Living Thru Chemistry" by Edie Nadelhaft, 2014.
Better Living Thru Chemistry is a limited edition sculpture series
consisting of over-sized glass and mixed media capsule-shaped objects
emblazoned with text messages, abbreviations, acronyms and slang. A
snarky commentary on our over-medicated society, Edie was inspired in
equal parts by the ubiquitous presence of social media in contemporary
culture and the simultaneous rise of direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical
marketing. This collection pokes fun at the alternately amusing and
depressing correlations between the two phenomena as both are enlisted
to over-simplify the human condition and expedite contentment.
