"The Room of Dead Trees" is based on observations of long-term users of drugs and presents a dichotomy of inside and outside imagery. This dichotomy displays the literal placement of the user "inside" of their state while desiring to be "outside" of it, as well as the illicit use and introversion from the "outside". These relationships lead to further self-medication as well as a negative feedback loop of dependence. Photography by Sydney Edwards & Billy Harris.
