iMugs

(1) Pictures are everywhere and they often sit one within another. This nesting is seen in movies, TV, and ads in various media. (2) Faces are sometimes called “mugs,” which leads to the idea that selfies are essentially “mug shots.” And this brings to mind the notion that, as mugs, they might be seen as receptacles – empty vessels – ready to be filled with mild intoxicants decanted from smartphones. Hence the celebration here of a kind of Toby mug in the innermost pictures within pictures.
