On The Rocks II

Description

How many of sorrows can you drown before the ship sinks?

At first glance this piece might be mistaken for a normal middle class scene, lemons and wine bottles set the stage; but there is more going on here than a single glance can gain. Nothing in this scene is in focus apart from the alcohol, nothing else matters here. For when a single person looses their way they can find themselves searching the top shelf for answers; but when a country struggles with its identity it affects everyone. This piece throws a spotlight on the questions of the age? Is drinking simply a youth culture problem, or is a bigger change? Will Britannia drown itself and sink beneath the waves.
