Amanda Eliasson’s “Snow White Cologne”

Snow White Cologne is based on a true story about my sister who, as a teenager, had a drug abuse problem. I wanted to tell her story in a non judgemental way, which is why the film tackles the difficult subject of drug addiction in a poetic and emotional manner rather than giving the viewer straight facts about the problems that come with the disease.

Process: Acrylic paint on paper
