I’d love to see this make an appearance in the Fallout LA series. It would be so appropriate in that time period, and especially so because of the nuclear metaphor. This really seems like something that would become popular in the Fallout universe.
This has always bothered me. I’m a C cup, so most fashion is made for me to show cleavage.
But I’ve done some fashion design (mostly historical fashion), and I’ve seriously wondered why larger bust sizes have such outsized undergarments. Like more than seems necessary.
Most fashion trends come back around every 20 years or so, but this one hasn’t for some reason:

That brim shape is almost perfect …
I could see this meaning something more – and even something inclusive – if the environment is part of the design; for a moment I ignored the steep looking sand bank, but if that’s part of the art, that changes the meaning by a lot. That would make much more sense.
I’ve lived places where the landscape changes a lot throughout the year, though, so I sort of ignored the background and took the bench itself in isolation.
Maybe that’s where I fucked up.
I didn’t assume malice, but ignorance. And not malicious ignorance, either.
Given this is a public installation, though, I was giving my interpretation.
But what this art says to me, as a wheelchair user, is something completely different because this design is the opposite of inclusive. Is that what is meant?
This design says I should be excluded – taking it as art, this design communicates everyone having conversations and leaving me out, because that back bar will exclude me by design.
If I’m to socialise, I should be on one end or the other, but that middle part means I’ll be artificially excluded by the environment.
Is that what it’s meant to mean?
They couldn’t, though. Because of the space the back of the chair and the radius the wheels requires, the person in the chair would be sitting nearly a foot in front of anyone seated on the bench.
e: look at the amount of space with my custom high-end and narrow profile chair (it’s even more space with the standard-issue chair):
.Your head will be in line with the leftmost right dot if you’re relaxed. I backed my chair against a door, and that’s fuzz or something.
That back bar prevents you from sitting ‘with’ anyone.
as well as practically.
X doubt.
This is worse than nothing, because (as a wheelchair user) there’s like 10 inches of clearance behind the chair (given wheel clearance). That back rail means you can’t back up to get yourself in line with your compatriots,so you’ll be in front of and misaligned with the people on either side, such that they’re literally talking behind your back.
If this design was in earnest, it’s godawful and just shows the designer had no idea what they were doing.
If it’s an art project, then I can appreciate it. If it was meant to be practical, it’s a major fail.
Proper etiquette requires some degree of suction, which is also kinda sexy, ngl
Counterpoint: it’s super manly to just own it and not worry about how you look. Whether you do tiny laps like a cat or big ol’ slurps like a dog, having the confidence to just hydrate yourself and not care who’s watching is kinda sexy, ngl

When people are starving and can’t get healthcare or basic needs, that’s just fucking disgusting.
