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.
Technology, the driving force of our digital age, offers convenience, connection, and innovation. Yet, does our constant reliance on screens and virtual interactions foster genuine happiness or breed isolation, detachment, and an inability to truly engage with the world around us?
Ash Thorp challenges the collectors of this work to decide whether to keep their digital vice or exchange it for the tranquility pill.
