This image raises questions around the aesthetics of toxics, or toxic aesthetics. The bright yellow bag catches my attention, like the glowing blue toxins in the jars. How might the attractiveness of toxic things increase our dependencies and use of them? As the image suggests, the appeal of toxins is perhaps not only in their affordability and utility, but also their visual allure and attractiveness.
Distracted and dispersed. It's unclear what the eye is to be drawn to in the image. My gaze felt dispersed in an unproductive way. But perhaps this dispersal suggests the dispersal and permeation of toxicity in the landscape, perhaps there is no singular focus or area of concentration.
This appears as a landscape or establishing shot that offers some insight into a few of the everyday commerce activities in the site.
At first glance, this image looks fairly banal, or as she describes it, mundane. The explanation of the intent is very effective, showing the viewer how we have also been "tricked" into accepting toxicity in our everday lives to the point that it has become unremarkable and unnoticed.
