Born into existence from the tumultuous and never ending felt confliction of growth and constraint. The Tied Belly Vessel, embodies the societal and self-imposed expectations placed upon our bodies. Years of social conditioning have formed a fetish like desire to idolise and idealise a body, that is often not our own, through a learned hierarchy of size, colour, and shape. All manufactured via the commodification and commercialisation of self-worth based on weight.
