A reflection on consumer culture — on everything we buy, use, and discard. It speaks of our growing detachment from nature, replaced by a synthetic, plastic world, made in China.
Unlike Pop artists who glorified the beauty of consumer objects, my work explores their afterlife — the moment when desire fades and waste begins. What Warhol celebrated, I question: the endless repetition, the mass production, and the glossy illusion of happiness that conceals exploitation and loss.
The process became a meditative journey between the realms of animal, plant, and object. Along the way, I encountered materials and meanings — marketing and objectification, desire and distortion, distance and connection, love and anger — all intertwined with the cynical machinery of consumption.
Why do we paint crocodiles pink?
How do we go to sleep with a bear?
When did a horseshoe become a symbol of luck, and why has the giraffe turned into an organ?
Why is the grass synthetic, the flowers plastic, and the butterflies magnetic?
Have you ever wondered how many kilometers each small object has traveled around the world?
What happens to what we throw away — and how long does it take to disappear?
