Artist Statement: I explore the visual language of consumer culture—its products, packaging, promises, and taglines—to examine how ideals around femininity, beauty, and perfection are constructed, sold, and recycled over time. Using a range of materials and methods, I reimagine everyday objects and ephemera to consider what they reveal about cultural values, both past and present. I’m drawn to the contradictions embedded in these messages: the allure and absurdity, nostalgia and critique, surface and substance. By reframing artifacts of desire and disposal, my work considers how meaning accumulates in the things we discard—or cling to—and the systems of consumption that shape our relationship to them.
