Tea Bags “Remedies”
This series portrays the tension and stress I feel in life and the antidotes I use to counteract those emotions.  One of those antidotes is the act of drinking tea and thus the images are printed on tea bags. The other alleviant stems from loved ones and the positive reassurance I get from them.  In following, this work is also an ode to my family, friends, and the confidence they bestow upon me. The tea bags being  withheld from the pillow like background symbolize my tense mental state. The idea being that instead of the tea bags being comfortably at rest, sharp metallic pins suspend them in mid-air.
