Commissioned for "The Beauty in Breathing" exhibition. The center image of each assemblage depicts a standing man, viz., a silhouette with mint candies collaged over upside-down black lungs, a 3-dimensional model of clear, hollow plastic filled with c butts and mints, and a red plastic model with a hole in the chest for the heart surrounded by black pigment. Calligraphic and letraset messages along with related objects and images reinforce the antisocial and antihealth habit of smoking. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
