What is taboo? How do we define that in today's social media atmosphere? In this "photo bomb" we relive the taboo of those who did not seek out societal norms. Marilyn's Party is concept of a Utopian afterlife . . . a place, an area, a dimension of freedom from taboo.

This is an abstract statement of social and political interactions. It's meant to express historical taboos that permeate our society even today. Espionage, eroticism, freedom of speech. Who are we to judge what is right or wrong . . .
