About the work

The title, Homo Bulla translates from Latin to mean 'man is a bubble' - bubbles having been used art historically, as symbols of the transience of material things, including human existence, thought and ideas. Contained inside each bubble are lines from the song 'I'm forever Blowing Bubbles' a popular football anthem today, but believed to have originated from the First World War in reference to the bubbles in gas masks employed by trench-bound soldiers.

About the artist

From re-creating east-end market-stalls in a gallery context, to painstakingly etched portraits and horticultural drawings, Michael Landy's work ruminates on consumerism and ownership and unflinchingly observes life with a distinctive and spartan honesty. One of Landy's best-known projects is Breakdown, 2001, in which all his worldly possessions were methodically listed by inventory in a disused London shop, before being fed by conveyor belt into a large grinder and reduced to dust.

Best Boxer Briefs for Women!
Color: 09-multicolour (4-pack), Size: Large
I rarely give 5⭐️’s but these deserve it! Hands down, the most comfortable material, stitching, waistband, moisture wicking and overall comfort. They sit right beneath my bellybutton, they wash and dry well and they’re sturdy. I have tried 3 styles and these are the best.

The best boy shorts ever.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Dark Colors
Consumers should know that these underwear are the most comfortable underwear on the market. Nice material, cut well and sewn perfectly. Did I mention, super soft? My favorites.

Best boxer briefs for women hands down
Size: X-Large, Color: Dark Colors
I really adore these! The material is soft but good quality and not thin. They’re perfectly cut to flatter any body, and the stretchy waistband is thick but not to the point where it digs in your skin. I normally wear a size L and I sized up to an XL and I’m so happy with the fit. The brief style is so adorable and I give these a 10/10 for being the most comfortable underwear I own

Waited to review...
Size: Small, Color: Dark Colors
SO so hard to buy underwear online. I liked Hanes cotton boxer briefs. but they changed the fabric a few years ago. While I preferred the cotton feel of the old ones, I eventually had to move along and try something else. These wash very nicely--and I dry mine in the dryer with no shrinkage. They don't ride up which is awesome. I have had mine for months so I can fully recommend them now.
