Description:
My understanding of the saying "when it rains it pours" is describing when something goes bad, a series of bad events follow and it becomes much worse or when something good happens a series of good events follows and it becomes great.
This work focuses on the bad side of the saying and depicts a montage of a man's life destroyed by alcohol and drugs. This artwork is up for interpretation of his fall from society. The artwork is done in dark colours do express the pity of the man's life.
Different elements in this picture are a representation of the man's life. The crack effect in the image is a symbol for his broken life. The needle, pills and bottle of wine show why he is laying in the alley. What caused this man to turn his life to drugs is up for interpretation. The key idea behind this image is that something went bad and because of this he turned to drugs and alcohol which destroyed his life.
