Tablet waste

Photo of collected tablet packaging

Having come across some of Damien Hirst's works of art with medication (such as the "Untitled pill and syringe" series and cupboards full of medicine bottles and boxes) a couple of weeks ago, it occurred to me how easy it would be for me to do something along the same lines given the large quantities of prescription medication I take every day.

So as an experiment, I saved all the packaging from my drugs over the last two weeks and then took photos of it. You can see the results in my gallery. I was slightly surprised at how much there was - it didn't even all fit in the (admittedly small) carrier bag I was collecting it in.

Something tells me I won't be making my fortune this way though...
