I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a big pile of pills. Interesting to ponder the thought of them in bodies and ultimately our water ways. This is a very provocative art piece. I’m a physician and know that our profession looks at these pills as the solution to our patient’s health concerns. It’s a funny coincidence that right now I am addressing my personal health issues through a pretty strict diet, avoiding things I know aggravate my arthritis and musculoskelatal pain, instead of looking for a solution in some of those pills. Great art and my first RSS of the morning! Thanks.

I have on my desk a new bottle of pills that came in the mail today. I will take it home tonight and add it to the 8 other bottles that wait on the counter for me every morning and evening. My family will fuss because they think I take too many pills already, and I do take a lot. When I looked at this picture, I imagined taking all of my pills and pouring them into a bowl. The idea itself isn’t so much frightening as the idea of then having to resort them. I wonder if the picture is saying, as my family often does, that taking so many pills is nuts.
Our society is a bunch of “nuts on pills…”
Great image! I concur with chairman meow’s comment above.
