Context

I went to the Andy Warhol museum and was very much inspired by his iconic and powerful artworks using, what one would think, simple manipulations of simple images of consumer products, to reflect the mass production/consumer culture in America. This brought me to contemplate over the matter of consumerism as well. Although I went to a different direction of consumerism and tried to show something different from what Warhol tried to convey, I based my idea on the context of mass consumption of products, a lot of which we don’t need. Of course, Warhol’s technique of creating powerful works with simple images inspired me as well, and I tried to emulate it by manipulating just ordinary pictures.
