“The Needle And The Damage Done” (2017) - Digital Collage - Anthony D Kelly

Part of the Reflections On An Age of Anxiety Series. The Needle And The Damage Done is a Digital Collage which aches with the pain of the growing epidemic in Opioid related addiction and overdose. Like Morphine and Heroin, Oxycodone and Fentanyl are Powerful synthetic derivatives of the Poppy plant. Although Oxycodone is legally available by prescription and was originally intended for pain management, it is highly addictive and its rates of prescription have skyrocketed, this is resulting in daily overdose deaths in Canada and America. As the danger has become clearer and regulations have tightened on the prescription of Oxycodone; Individuals already caught in a cycle of addiction are turning to both Heroin and Fentanyl, Oxycodone's more potent, more addictive and more lethal cousins to fill the void.

"You basically had these pain clinics [with] doctors that supposedly specialized in treating pain. These, in fact, were doctors who had no experience in treating pain. These are essentially clinics where you could walk in and the doctor would say, 'How do you feel?' 'I'm in pain. I think OxyContin would work for me.' And the doctor would write your prescription. You would pay cash for the appointment, and the cycle would start. And these ... proliferated throughout the U.S."
