Art Over Addiction Competition

Artist : Tariq Lawal
Age : 18

In "Euphoria Over Dysphoria," I envision a utopian future where prioritizing art over addiction fundamentally reshapes lives. Placed within the metaphorical expanse of outer space, I embody liberation from earthly struggles, embodying boundless possibilities beyond the reach of addiction. Drugs serve as portals to fragmented realities, distorting innate potential and perpetuating cycles of

dependency. Within this narrative, appreciating and existing within the beauty  of our environment itself constitutes an art form. This vision underscores a  transformative pathway where art, rather than substances, enhances our collective pursuit of fulfillment and harmony.
