ARTIST'S STATEMENT
The collection “JUST A NUMBER” questions with humor, issues of conformity and standardization as the effects of industrialization and globalization are seeping every aspect of our lives. After years of a semi-utopic state of euphoria fed by the material trappings of economic prosperity, young working men are coming to terms with a new great depression. Portraying this generation of individuals of faceless figurines, men in suits, who are dispensable, devoid of their value as unique humans, now posing as numbers within economic units struggling to survive. The theme of repetition adds to the objectification of the human figure and creates a mood of senseless reproduction reflecting our consumer society.
