"Helping" Hand

thingiverse

This tool aims to tackle the complex issue of bulimia with a thought-provoking approach, utilizing irony as a means to convey its message. Its design takes on an unsettling form, resembling two fingers that are often associated with vomiting - the index finger and middle finger. Individuals struggling with bulimia may instinctively use these fingers to induce regurgitation, highlighting the warped behaviors that arise from societal beauty standards. Many people have been and continue to be hurt by their pursuit of a thinner, more "attractive" appearance. Due to its compact size, this tool can easily be concealed, echoing the fear bulimic patients often harbor about being discovered. This serves as a stark reminder of the gravity of the condition and the difficulty in seeking help before it's too late.
