Story behind the Artwork:
Like Smoking, though known to be as the second-greatest cause of death worldwide, it results in 10% of deaths around the globe, according to the World Health Organization. In the earlier days, Smoking has been associated with Men as for their “Masculinity”; and if some women smoke, they are viewed as “Defiant” or “Emancipated”. However, as time progressed Marketing Strategies has evolved, now targeting the woman population. Today, Smoking for women are viewed with “Sophistication”, “Empowerment” & “Fashion”. Consumerism both depends on and reproduces encompassing an insatiability of desires and needs inadvertently making this part of a societal culture. The cruel trick is that a society of consumers thrives on the inability to ever consume enough, making Companies focus more on revenue rather than the promise to be able to deliver the goods and with the information to the consumers.
