The portrait is based on a person who struggled with various life issues relating to alcohol and substance abuse. At the time of creating the work, he was trying to control these habits and in his words "piece his life back together". Each piece included in the image has relevance to the story since they were collected by him and given to me to create the image. The clock movement represents time as a healer, the pill packets are an echo of the substance issue and there is even a breathalyser tube representing the alcohol abuse.
