ARTIST TEXT

This artwork is open to interpretation. Its purpose is to decontextualize elements used by the mass media, cartoons, and the fashion industry and intersperse them with each other to show the direct relationship of the subordination of current aesthetics for the benefit of the globalized market, as well as its current ideological deformation.
