This object in a response to the vague symptomatic descriptions of skin hunger prevalent online. This sculpture served as a commodified solution to skin hunger, accompanied by an associated advertisement video. Through addressing this self-validated event outcome, I sought to challenge the subtle manipulation of our psyche by societal and media forces through the lens of communication studies. This endeavor illuminated the contemporary societal phenomenon wherein subjective judgments about ourselves are perpetuated and amplified.
