Gift explores the intersection of human identity and consumer culture. By documenting the chronological "boxing" of the subject, the work critiques the dehumanizing effects of modern materialism. In this era, the individual is frequently reduced to a functional tool—a gift wrapped for the market’s pleasure. This project utilizes the visual language of retail and packaging to expose the friction between our innate humanity and the societal pressure to be "valuable." It is an act of visual rebellion against the commodification of existence.
