Toxic. The breathing masks, the asian girl breathing from a clean air tank, and the desolate backdrops do a fantastic job of conveying toxicity.

This image interpellates me as not only a toxic subject, but as someone who contributes to toxicity. The perfume that I potentially wear, the hair products at my hair salon, or even my lotion can cause chemical sensitivity in people around me. In particular, those who lack access to healthcare and are service workers tend to bear the ramifications of our actions.

These images are a potrait that are also informative. It's not an inforgraphic, but they are meant to inform people. 

In each individual image, I first noticed the people in the image and then the background. The words came last. For the complete image, I simply scanned left to right.

These images convey a narrative, they are discursive. In terms of analysis, they are meta as they advance certain discourses about toxicity and toxic subjects.

For people concerned with body odor, these images represent a study done to see if there is a gender disparity in those who would be willing to part with their use of cologne, perfume, or deoderent. These images show how social norms over scent and what it means to be hygenic, can contribute to a toxic environment.

I am interested in critiquing notions of health, hygiene, and sanitation and their connections with odor or smell. How do certain smells become linked with hygeine and others with poor hygeine?

I immediately knew this would be an intellectual image as there were charts and graphs.

This image was definitely made to convey the results of a study. The image on the left are the quantitative and graphical results. I like how on the right, they included narratives and perspectives of the students they tested.

I actually thought there was too much wording in this image, which made it hard for me to focus. My eyes kept moving around and I did not really stop to focus on a particular place.
