The Void

Everything that we 'consume', from social media to advertising, to entertainment, construes an aspirational reality. We aspire and desire to possess some material objects: props to signal our social rankings to others. Objects become a metaphor for our accomplishments: whether of an idyllic time of leisure and fun, or symbols of artistic or intellectual achievements, or image of the intention to maintain a certain desired physical aspect.

I choose Vacuum Forming as a technique to create a series of objects to form a hyper-real environment. The objects look solid when seen from one side but appear hollow only when walking around the space.
