"Don’t Worry, I’ll Fix It" is a commentary on substance abuse and the lies told along the difficult road to recovery. Drawing from Ovid’s Metamorphoses and the story of Arachne, it intertwines classical motifs, probing modern notions of hubris rooted in stigma and isolation.
Don’t Worry, I’ll Fix It (Ne t’inquiète pas, je m’en occupe) est une réflexion sur la toxicomanie et les mensonges qui jalonnent le parcours difficile vers la guérison. Inspirée des Métamorphoses d’Ovide et de l’histoire d’Arachné, l’œuvre entremêle des motifs classiques aux notions modernes de l’orgueil menant à la ruine, sur fond de stigmatisation et d’isolement.
