Defining EROTICISM
::: I would define eroticism as a stimulating and arousing
environment or situations which arouse your feeling suddenly and thoughtlessly
::: curiousity - the thirst to know or to find out about the
ambiguity
::: inferiority - being minority, unimportance, and
imperfection can lead to an arousing feeling and desire to get attentions
::: illusion - optical illusion can get you confused and curious
of the unexpected things you see
::: guilt/hidding - erotic feelings sometimes come with
guilt because you are not supposed to do or to think that way, but you can’t
avoid it, so you feel very uncomfortable and shame of yourself
::: obsession - having strong passion with something

TOILET GRAFFITI
More erotic content in men’s
More romantic content in women’s
Male’s graffiti also tend to be more insulting, prejudiced, and image-based
Female’s graffiti usually offer advice or respond to previous remarks.
Women: social conventions and lesser sexual responsiveness.
“Psychoanalytic writers proposed that graffiti writing was a form of ‘phallic expression’ or that men pursued it out of an unconscious envy of women’s capacity for childbirth.”

Survey
To get various opinion from girls, I created a Facebook page and invited about 150 girls to share there thoughts.
Below is some examples of messages converted into toilet graffiti style
Electricity Supply
The diagrams below show the route of how I can connect my site to electricity.
The red line takes about 15 meters, and the blue is about 21 meters.
I think this is the main problem of my site, the distances are too long and hard to connect the electrical lines.

| The initial idea of how I want to install my work |
To develop from my initial, I need to make the two zones separated clearer i.e. the inside and outside of the stall should obviously show the contrast girls thoughts. So I'd make the graffiti on the mirror become neater handwriting and more in order so it is contrast in visual.
Soundtrack
I also decided to add a soundtrack with the sound of using toilet and toilet environment. This will evoke the imagination of men and they will get the erotic sense of what is usually unheard. They might feel like there's a girl in the toilet with them.
