Consumed presents a visual inventory of contemporary material culture through the lens of chromatic isolation. Each tableau is constructed entirely with domestic objects found in one family’s New York City apartment; each arrangement is delicately balanced without the use of adhesives or connectors. The physical fragility of these still lifes 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.
