Description
This painting depicts colored glass water bottles. In this image, the water bottles are colored with vibrant pinks and reds, and the bottle closest to the forefront has a darker, more morose colorization. The line work of the bottles is not congruent with reality. The bottles appear to be melting. There is something to be said about the suggested sexual connotation of the bottles, especially in context of their bright pink and red colorization and their phallic shape. The viewer can sense the insinuation of their boldness. (Nicole Wang '26)
