Was this to restore it to how it looked before? If so, it's missing the empty beer crate. Feel like it was an important part of the story. If not, please totally ignore this comment.

An eli5 now that this is fixed would be nice. Y’know, for the r/outoftheloop folks and what not.

The context is in the title, right?

Thought there might be an underlying explanation for who she represents/is and same for him? Political or social statement, etc

To me, the work explores the relationship between the tyranny of ageing and emotional memories. With influences as diverse as Kierkegaard and Frida Kahlo, new synergies are manufactured from both constructed and discovered dialogues.

Well put. I totally agree. And definitely not because I don't understand what you said want to seem smart too!

Social statement about violence against women. You can see she has a swollen eye and missing teeth. And given the clothing is very 1950s, there were not many options for battered women back then.

I think it’s just supposed to be a woman dumping a guys dead body in a freezer

The woman has signs of abuse in her face. Could be her dumping an abusive husband. That's what I get at least.

She’s dressed like a 1950s housewife metaphorically ‘cleaning up’ and getting rid of the man, it represents the women’s rights movement and is mocking the archaic family dynamics of the past.

I only glanced at the first time that I saw it, didn't even notice that, thanks for pointing it out.

I'm assuming the fridge (that the title says was there previously) is now photoshopped(stock model of some kind) in with the backside of the fridge (that grid is all the coolant tubes or something, most fridges have them on the back but others on the bottom) facing outwards to give a more 'accurate' appearance of the dead feet coming out of the freezer

*Edit to add: 'who' she is; the perfect image of the "long-suffering" home-maid house wife in kitchen uniform, or etc from days past. Msg ig: 'she cleans up' even a body lol

The photoshop is the fridge and chair that were in the piece before being removed. Was photograped from a different angle of course.

If you flipped this horizontally it would line up with the wall better?
