Abstract
The investigation represents the prevalence ofdrugs, so the drugs and not the drug addict as
the probleminthe city. Thus,the needofthe moment is to think ofhow to isolate drugs from
the life ofdrug addicts, rather than to isolate the drug addicts from the society, and letting
them be die.

towards drug use. In the poster, the man entering from the left, has shown stepping down
towards the desire ofusing more drugs without realizing the fact that he has been deficient

and private spaces that are left abandoned.
