MACROS BY MAYNARD

a photo of a basketball player in mid air, feet pointed up with his legs in a V, falling backwards. through his open legs you can see him looking distraught with a basketball held above his head. along his legs, text has been added which reads 'dare to cross the threshold' along his left leg. Along his right: 'and be un-made'
a man swings a folding chair at a cowering sports mascot on a basketball court. behind them, another mascot lays on the ground. text reads: ', he argued that there are six distinct universal basic emotions - anger, surprise, disgust, happiness, fear, and sadness. (Ekman has sometimes suggested that there are seven basic emotions, adding contempt,'
text in bold red capitals, slightly warped outwards at the top and bottom, reads 'DESIRE WILL RUN ITS COURSE' over a photo of a hamster laying down, eyes closed, with its mouth pressed to a pet water bottle.
a photo of a printed photograph stapled to a board featuring a shirtless white man staring directly into the camera. obscuring his eyes and face, pink pixel text reads 'KILLER IS A GENDER NEUTRAL TERM'
a close up of a dog's bared teeth next to the neck of a second dog laying down. in the centre, a screenshot of black text on a white background reading 'You have a private mouth that's a machine.' 'private mouth' is highlighted in blue, 'machine' is highlighted in pink.
a diagram shows a human figure with a giant eye looking directly at the viewer in place of a head. The figure is in the centre of a room surrounded by panels displaying screenshots of tags reading 'Already purchased', 'Too personal', 'Repetitive', 'Sensitive topic', 'Irrelevant', 'Knows too much'. Dotted arrows reach out towards the panels from the eye.
Over a photograph of bodies floating face-down in a pool, text reads 'i don't want to reject / the effort ive put into changing / but im desperate to relapse'

Over a photograph of a figure self-immolating, text reads 'i don't know why i talk to you since you barely act like you're alive'
Over a photograph of a skeleton riding a bucking skeleton horse, text reads 'I am in control of my trauma controlling me'
Over a photograph of a spongebob squarepants ice cream melting on the pavement, a screenshot of three chat logs from three different anonymised users reads 'life is beautiful', 'life is a mystery', 'you're killing me'

A photo of MAYNARD in a black shirt pulled over their head, obscuring their face and showing their chest and top surgery scars. The background is edited to be The Red Room from Twin Peaks, and yellow sans serif text reads 'create your dream body' atop multiple copies of the same phrase repeated in blue echoing behind.'
