toilet

Description

The toilet is a sacred chamber for humanity’s primal act of excretion, yet treated with utmost disregard. Everyone rushes in in urgency, yet behind the door a silent code of conduct reigns. Once their business is done, visitors pretend it never existed, leaving it to await the next supplicant. The ritual of cleaning in its name is shunned until the revenge of odors emerges. Occasionally, it lays bare the condensation of social inequalities and stress, serving as a tiny social experiment in everyday life.
