Reserve: $20.00
My work is inspired by the fact that product placement and advertisement causes people to buy unnecessary items, that have no purpose other than satisfyin their consumerism wants. Advertising deceives people's eyes, because it makes them believe that they really need it. The barcode represents the products people buy, the skull which matches the background, stands for the people who got sucked into debt. Royalty and power is often associated with the colour purple, thise represents those people behind the scenes, who have the power to put advertisements everywhere.
