Men Will Ruin Everything uses dark irony to address entitlement, consumption, and the quiet violence of taking someone for granted. The work depicts a beautiful mermaid reduced to an object of use, transforming a mythical symbol of desire into a commentary on exploitation.

The figure represents a priceless woman whose value is invisible to the man who possesses her. Despite her beauty and power, she is treated as disposable, seasoned, and consumed. The act of cooking becomes a metaphor for emotional neglect, control, and the normalization of harm within intimate dynamics.

By exaggerating the scene into the grotesque, the piece exposes how admiration can quickly turn into destruction when care is replaced by entitlement. Men Will Ruin Everything confronts the viewer with an uncomfortable truth: love, when taken for granted, becomes another form of violence.
