Vintage National Cigarette Vending Machine Functional Conceptual Art

Vintage National cigarette vending machine repurposed as a functional conceptual art installation. This is an original National cigarette vending machine that remains operational and includes the original key. The machine has received partial restoration while retaining its age, patina, and evidence of decades of commercial use.

The installation centers around a tiger carrying her cub, exploring themes of protection, healing, dependence, and the restorative qualities of nature. What appears to be stock Marlboro cigarette packs are actually custom-created artistic components. Each pack features a custom warning label that reads. Does this help with the sadness?

The machine remains illuminated and functional, creating a striking display piece that operates both as a vintage vending machine and as a completed artwork.
