A host of artists, fashion designers and celebrities created their own unique toilet seats as part of a project with WaterAid and the Rankin Agency to help elevate the status of the humble loo and celebrate them for the lifesavers they are.
Chila Burman examines representation, gender and cultural identity in her work.
“I was thrilled to be invited to be a part of this RANKIN and WaterAid project, which seeks to reposition the toilet seat as a luxury, reflecting the reality that the humble toilet seat acts to prevent the spread of disease.
"We take for granted how significant a toilet seat is, but my own relatives in Punjab were only recently able to get a toilet.
"Billions of people around the world don’t have a working toilet, it’s a basic human right and I’m so pleased to be a part of this project helping to raise awareness."
