beverage

Description

A beverage is a collection of fluids that momentarily banish thirst while delivering the crushing realization of one’s spending. Humanity, trapped in the cage of taste, shuttles between comfort and betrayal with each sip. What began as social lubrication has morphed into a status symbol, with the residue at the bottom of a bottle serving as a modern oracle. Sometimes venerated as holy water, other times scorned as poison, its dual nature is the very epitome of contradiction.
