ARTWORK

I visited the “Barbara Kruger: Thinking of You. I Mean Me. I Mean You” exhibition In late February 2024, and its bold mix of colours, typography, images and provocative language inspired me to create a project based off of her work.

"Why do you hate YOURSELF?"

My idea development started from the moment I stepped into the exhibit and began taking photographs of the pieces. I then printed these photos out into the sketchbook and began to develop ideas for my final piece, starting with creating my own Barbara Kruger inspired piece which I titled “Why Do You Hate Yourself?”.

My final piece was inspired by society's consumerism, subtly hinting that materialistic items don’t make us happy.
