As someone that buys a lot of clothing, I know that it can be hard for people to think about where what they buy comes from, I used these figurative sculptures to portray the concept of fast fashion, with the front sculpture representing that idea of glamour that we often see on social media. Everything on this figure is shiny, the skin being bronze, the hair and base having glitter, and the whole piece decorated with golden foil. It’s tied to the second sculpture through the fabric seen around its neck, the same fabric being in the arms of the second figure, this figure being the complete opposite of the first, having no decorated features as well as the base being a plain wood scrap. These two figures work alone but they are stronger when seen next to each other as the viewer is now prompted to think about how the two are tied.
