making the lines of bottles beyond the countertop appear as if they are a collage of reflective brown hues. Each movement is delayed and followed by a deep, burdened breath. Suddenly, images flash across his mind reminiscent of his days before his attachment to alcohol. They remind him of his family and steady job.
