I will not be held responsible for any injury sustained from trying to use EMESIS or any objects that may have been inspired by EMESIS. The project’s aim is not to mock Bulimia or any one suffering from said illness. It’s merely an elaborate comment on the ever increasing commercialization of taboo subject matter.
