While 'partying' is seen as a fundamental aspect of socializing and letting go, it is also part of our primal instincts . Evolutionary psychologists suggest that gathering in groups and moving rhythmically together was a way for our ancient ancestors to bond, communicate and survive. In the Western World this ritual has become somewhat tied to drug taking—be it alcohol, ecstasy or whatever—humans seem to feel the need to alter their consciousness. Wax and Feathers is a visual exploration into this party and drug culture.
