so i decided to make one of my characters a toy like plastic-looking guy who was stoned, and place him round the back of an alleyway near some bins. if you look carefully you will notice a syringe next to him. the aim of this character is to illustrate the thin line between childlike innocence and the danger of going astray by following the path of drugs, which ultimately leads to loneliness and self destruction. the syringe looks like a toy, this is particularly ironic because you are not likely to come across toy syringes that are made for children to play with. the whole scene works together to produce an altogether strange mix of uneasiness and discomfort while still retaining an element of playfulness.
