“This piece illustrates how one can be blind to the negative effects of caffeine, due to "liking the rush." This image plays on the irony of enjoying the thing that's killing you. The addiction, combined with lack of sleep, allows individuals to not see the reality of the situation (their face is slowly becoming skeletal, resembling their addiction, along with the surrounding cloud of skull-like steam).”
