This conceptual piece is an appropriation of consumerist culture in western society, where excessive consumption has been part of our social upbringings since the early 18th century. As a consumer myself, i felt the need to use domestic objects found within a domestic setting to emulate the process of consuming and comment on our inherent needs buy in mass. The flowers are tactile, ephemeral and resonate beauty which are somewhat desirable traits of the objects and ‘necessities’ we purchase on a day to day basis.
