Consumer

Although other people may get something entirely different from my Consumer piece, this is the meaning I had intended when I did this piece. The current state of the American and World marketplace is one where we are constantly being sold everything and anything that can be packaged. These various companies try and tout their products as being able to make you feel all of the listed and varied emotions and states of being. Everything from happieness and security, to comfort and salvation. The consumer standing in front of the shelves only has two one dollar bills, and all the things that are offered cost more than the amount he has. The statement being, that you will never be able to buy any of these states or emotions, they can only truly be felt existentially. So he stands there in confusion, staring at things he'll never be able to buy. If you see something else in this piece, I invite you to offer your opinion below this post.
