| Description |
"TOXIC lives for attention. It’s obsessed with clout and influence. In TOXIC, the body exists solely in order to create more value. TOXIC pleases and thrives. It shapes its very essence according to the desolate demands of the society. It exploits its power without the sense of quilt or shame. TOXIC invades both the individual and environment intrusively. The viciously stunning piece plays its malicious games while maintaining flawless image. TOXIC is a product of our brutal times. CONTENT WARNINGS: sexual abuse, body shaming, fat phobia, eating disorders, suicide" |
