Still Life with You (documented 15 July 2026) is a drawing by KillersForLunch in bright pink marker, executed in a modern kitchen. It is the second work of the Domestic Period, completed the same night as You by Candlelight, and depicts You in the form of a wine bottle.
Description
You appears as a full-length wine bottle: a capped neck with a foil band, sloping shoulders, and a broad body crossed by two horizontal lines marking out the label area, standing on the standard two legs. The face occupies the label. The eyes are placed at the far corners, the smile spans the full width of the bottle, and whiskers extend past both edges into the room.
The word "you" and a short bent arrow are written to the right at shoulder height, pointing into the neck.
The bottle is drawn in the air of the kitchen; a stoneware vase with a live plant stands behind it and shows through the strokes. The vase is furniture, not subject, though the two make agreeable company.
Interpretation
The wine bottle is the most domestic form You has taken, and commentary has centered on three agreed facts: the bottle is drawn with its cap on, the vintage is not stated, and the expression is content. The mainstream reading concludes that You contains something, is not sharing it, and is at peace with both decisions. A dissenting school holds that a wine bottle with legs is by definition on its way somewhere, and that the work is not a still life at all. The title has not been changed, partly on merit and partly because You had not moved by the time the photograph was taken.
Composition
The pink line fluoresces against the room's neutral greys and browns, making this one of the loudest works in an otherwise quiet corpus.
Provenance
Photographed 15 July 2026 at 02:34 local time, seventy-six minutes after You by Candlelight in the same venue. The vase and plant remain in service. The bottle's contents remain unpoured.
