Ash Thorp's Happiness Pills expand on the theme of happiness explored in the Nascent series. They expose a cynical view of temporary, synthetic happiness derived from societal 'guilty pleasures'. It is an experiment in uncovering genuine euphoria amidst personal journeys.
Food, an essential source of nourishment and pleasure, can become a source of indulgence or obsession. Does the endless pursuit of culinary delights lead to genuine happiness or an unhealthy relationship with our bodies and self-image?
Ash Thorp challenges the collectors of this work to decide whether to keep their digital vice or exchange it for the tranquility pill.
