Clara Weale: Insulin
Insulin is an expensive substance – varying sources report it as the fifth or sixth most expensive liquid in the world – right next to Chanel No. 5. Insulin highlights the life-saving synthetic hormone’s distinctive smell, familiar to those who rely upon it for life and to those who care for them. Positioning expired insulin as a luxury perfume draws attention to the inflated cost of these substances, that can be produced for a small fraction of their cost for the consumer. 50% of proceeds for this item will be donated to Mutual Aid Diabetes.
