Statement: Urban Pop
The pop culture theme of these images stems from a fascination with consumerism, idolatry, and identity in modern society. The images are all “found objects” in that the subjects are photographed without any alterations. Each scene is ephemeral in nature, a brief moment in time. New posters and paint cover the old in an ever-changing cycle. Found in New York, Paris, Berlin, and Rome, the images reflect some of the popular values, frequently conveying a sense of nostalgia, quite literally plastered throughout these contemporary urban settings.
