The basic idea here was at first to comment on the enormous economic energy behind beautifying the breast. I wanted to contrast the effort spent on making the breast beautiful with the social taboo of making a public appreciation of the result of all that effort. In other words, if a woman is free to beautify her breasts with special garments, designer clothes, necklaces, surgery, etc, why is it still inappropritate for someone to notice all this effort except from a distance or with sly glances? I didn't really succeed in that. Instead, I ended up with this, which you might say is a commentary on classical versus modern day depictions of feminine beatuy.
Sort of.
