Consumed presents a visual inventory of contemporary material culture through the lens of chromatic isolation. Each tableau is constructed entirely with domestic objects and precariously balanced without the use of adhesives or connectors. This physical fragility reminds us of the precarity of personal identity in a consumer-driven society. The unique combination and configuration of items within each montage form an unconventional self-portrait of a household, underscoring how deeply our culture emphasizes the deliberate and artificial construction of selfhood through possession. These aren’t merely objects but a carefully curated performance of who we are.
The series invites reflection on our patterns of acquisition and consumption, the trend toward the commodification of the self, and the often-unconscious narratives embedded within the things we choose to surround ourselves with.
