Consumer Reports

Consumer Reports is a photographic and narrative exploration of the complex and often painful intersection between money and familial relationships. Drawing inspiration from the American consumer culture that prioritizes materialism and individual success, this work seeks to critically examine how financial decisions, shaped by inequitable wealth distribution, affect the emotional and relational dynamics within families.​ In Consumer Reports, I invite viewers to reflect on the inequities of wealth distribution in the U.S., and to consider the invisible costs of living in a society where financial success often determines social and personal worth. This artwork is both a critique of the system and a recognition of the emotional labor required to navigate it. It’s a call to examine how we value one another beyond our purchasing power, and to question the price we pay for love, support, and connection in an unequal world.
