The meaning changes depending on the location

nails, nail clippers, hair brush, red lipstick, white shirt
It is perfectly acceptable when the nails and the hair are part of our body, however it is often considered disgusting once they are detached from us. The same can be said for lipstick. It is a common cosmetic that women (and even some men, these days) us, and it is perfectly acceptable to see it on their lips. However, when a lipstick mark is found on a man’s shirt, different emotions and thoughts arise. Through this piece, I wanted to show the importance of context and location because of its effect on perception.
