The Only Seat Of Power That Cannot Be Delegated.
It is called a throne colloquially and everyone laughs because the joke lands — because everyone privately knows that the toilet is the one seat of power that cannot be delegated. The CEO cannot send someone else. The president cannot appoint a deputy. The celebrity cannot have their assistant handle it.
No technology has yet found a way to outsource the most fundamental demand the body makes of the person living inside it. The blue throne is the only democratic institution left. Everything else — justice, healthcare, education, safety — has been tiered, privatized, and distributed according to wealth.
But the toilet still comes for everyone equally. For now. This is a monument to that. Cast in blue because blue is the colour of water, which is the colour of equality, which is the colour of the last thing they haven't yet managed to make exclusive.
