“Annihilation” explores the cyclical and destructive nature of addiction within families, illustrating how harmful habits become ingrained and contagious. This piece was inspired by an individual who, despite witnessing the adverse effects of smoking on their family, adopted the habit themselves. The figure holding a missile like a cigarette symbolizes the dangerous normalization of self-destruction. At the same time, the background of a place destroyed by an explosion reflects the widespread devastation addiction causes. The two planes represent the role of the family in perpetuating this cycle, suggesting how inherited behaviors and influences can fuel personal and collective annihilation. This piece confronts the profound impact of addiction as both a personal choice and a generational curse.
