This triptych can be arranged in any order, or every order, and the truth of the words in sequence is still true. Try it: Dead/Clean/Dirty, Dirty/Clean/Dead, Clean/Dead/Dirty and so on. Females in Western culture transmute between these three states of being, and can even be all three at once!

Artist's Comment

I like the way the words "clean" and "dirty" are modestly showing themselves as there, but not in your face, while "dead" has a flashbang. Meaning? I don't know, maybe just a direct sensory impact into the lower brain contrasted with a shy, sneaky intrusion. Tragic and very cool at the same time.
