Surrealism Project - "Burst Bubbles"

I liked the idea of covering one larger object with other stuff (like the fur-covered cup, for example). I thought of the plentitude of cigarette butts strewn around the elephants, and thought they'd make good project fodder. But what to put them on? It must of course be something entirely different, so the piece can have clashing elements. I then remembered a Barbie book that I had picked up from the free section of Ed McKay's some weeks ago, because I thought it would be funny to have. Now its useful. I didn't anticipate the horrible stench of cigarette butts, but I pushed through it as I taped them on. But it didn't seem like enough, so I wrapped bubble rap around it, because I liked the idea of trapping the clashing elements together. I also slapped on a sticker but I'm considering removing it. Anyway, this project could be read as a commentary on body image - Barbie promotes a perfect body to young girls, but many people end up smoking and trashing their health to stay thin. Or smoke because they're distressed about trying to live up to certain ideals. That interpretation was an afterthought, though - the piece can just as well be seen as nonsense, since it's surreal.
