Damien Hirst


This is a picture of Damien Hirst's project which is based on a pharmacy theme. This picture represents a real pharmacy with all the drugs and cabinets that contain packages of drugs and bottles. There are 4 bottles on the counter (only showing 3) but each represent earth, air, fire and water.

Medicine - Hirst identifies his cabinets with people. In other words, he compares the re-arranged drugs on the shelf as human internal organs, in which he is relating to that each drug acts as a organ which has its own objectives.


Cabinets - The cabinets are just simple white shelves, which have been re-arranged with empty bottles and drugs packages. Hirst's states that he doesn't mind the exact order changes but does emphasise that it is important to keep a colour balance.
