Swallow
When the body is overwhelmed by a substance, material, or emotion, it triggers a range of emotional and physical responses. In this context, the act of consuming gallons of cold milk until the body can no longer tolerate it becomes an endurance test—a display of willpower to overcome indulgence. This act could be seen as the body's passive acceptance, as it transcends from pain to pleasure.
The artwork employs milk as a symbol of sustenance, representing growth and linking to subcultural rituals associated with performed masculinity. It also serves as a visual metaphor for fetishism and sexuality. By utilizing milk in this manner, the artwork explores these themes and evokes a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics between the body, desire, and cultural symbolism.
