What does the image convey about “toxic subjects” (their character, dynamics, etc.)? (How) Does this image open up the concept of “toxicity”?

I find the image aesthetically pleasing. It's composition is simple and clear. It presents mercury as a transformative, and powerful substance.

my eye moves from top to bottom, seemingly viewing the "stabilization of mercury" through the images
