In Cheap Thrills, irreverent commentary on the methodology of capitalism and consumerism act as a guiding force for the work. Recontextualizing elements of editorial aesthetics with typography, deadpan imagery, and a constrained palette, the show discusses consumerist culture using elements of its own language. Nostalgic symbolism is utilized as both mirror and refuge, illustrating a recognition of the current ephemeral nature of modern times and a yearning for simplicity.
