Sex and Cigarettes (2025) is a mixed-media work that examines the enduring association between desire and indulgence in contemporary culture. Through the juxtaposition of cigarettes and depictions of intimacy, the piece contrasts self-destructive habits with the healing and connective potential of human sexuality. Blending social commentary with elements of sex education, the work invites viewers to reflect on pleasure, vulnerability, and the choices that shape our physical and emotional well-being.
