Steroid sculptures

Steroid Sculptures

Steroids are similar to the male hormone testosterone and therefore mimic manliness. Steroids improve endurance and performance and stimulate muscle growth. They may also cause dramatic mood swings and sometimes the use of steroids leads to unwanted changes in appearance. We’re all familiar with the stereotypes of steroid users for example, roid rage, shrunken testicles, exploding biceps, but we’re much less familiar with the physical and psychological consequences of steroid abuse. A set of five shaped packaging items in different quantities (less than 4) from one box used as building blocks can change appearance more than 3500 times
