Consumerist Propoganda

This poster I created is a reflection of the subtle psychological repercussions of capitalism on the psyche of our collective culture. With a predisposition to judge others according to their possessions, we oftentimes become consumed with the idea of creating an identity for ourselves rooted in the materials we accrue over a lifetime. Rather than thinking for ourselves we become consumed with the constant flow of advertisements, the reputation of certain brands, and what our belongings convey to others about who we are. In order to truly experience life and think critically about the world around us and the meaning of our personal lives, we must break out of this mind set and stop being so consumed with this materialistic lifestyle.
