SONGS FOR THE END
Concept: SONGS FOR THE END portrays a woman grocery shopping in a supermarket, where the overwhelming array of choices reflects the modern dilemma of abundance without fulfillment. It critiques the excessive production of unnecessary foods and their impact on the planet. Through a blend of metaphor and social commentary, it explores themes of consumerism, existential awareness, and the interconnectedness of production and consumption in our society. The shopping experience is depicted as a chaotic and intimate moment, where the consumer is both consumed by the process and implicated in the larger environmental and societal issues at play.
