Artist Statement:

 “Comfort in Consumption” focuses on how consumerist culture controls our lives. Consumerism culture is an economic system focused on purchasing and consuming goods to obtain identity, power, and money, and has obtained control over our lives and sense of self.  This body of work explores the aftermath between capitalism and its reliance on consumeristic culture and how it affects people of all generations. These pieces explore the constant need for instant gratification, whether it is updating the media or continuously defining ourselves through trends. This need for consumption takes away our focus, from aspects of life that cannot be achieved through a screen.
