ABOUT THE WORK:
In her most recent work, enraged by the social media algorithms that flag female nipples as pornography, Hebron created the male nipple pasty as a satirical proposition: the pasty, a cut-out of a male nipple, is to be placed over the (seemingly identical) female nipple in order to comply with the archaic modesty regulations enforced by these networks.
