Consume I, II, III, and IV

“I composed these images to expose the way that capitalism in the United States permeates every facet of our lives. I grew up in a culture that was traditionally communist, but has gradually begun to embrace capitalist systems as a way to bolster what was a weak economy. However, culturally China is still very different, and I feel that my time in America has pulled me into a way of viewing the world around me that I never experienced in China.”
