is a collaboration with Tyra Bombetto on the too hot-t-t for the holidays theme of global warming.
"Invoking the crystalline forms of fractal geometry via the dispersal of confectionary concoctions of an icy ingestible nature, Behar and Bombetto delve into the spirit of giving with a seasonal interventionist rejoinder that, through challenging juxtapositions of post-feminist critique and environmental activism, employs a post-structuralist subterfuge masquerade engaging hybrid motifs to explore themes of ecological awareness, gender determinism, the male gaze, and the cultural censorship of the patriarchally and meteorologically abnormal, using the language of abstraction."
