Retained III by Poojan Gupta
In the back of my mind was the memory of murti statues in temples worn smooth by centuries of reverential handling. Work gives low-grade blister packs a material value that is comparable to sacred temple objects. The seductive quality of the metal encourages people to touch its surface - an action that mirrors and transforms the everyday handling of blister packs as part of unit-dose medication. The visuality of the work changes the moment you reach out and interact. My hope is that the tactility of the surface will trigger, and then dramatically enhance, personal recollections of taking pills.
