Thesis statement: Instagram photos stimulate my greed.




In this project I’m using my identity as a starting point.
I find posts with things I desire such as cameras, desserts, and accessories on Instagram, print them out life size, and make the post into "real objects" by cutting and folding. By examining my own greed I'm trying to find a solution for it.



Then I take self-portraits with the paper objects as if I am holding the real ones, and upload finished photos back to Instagram with other people’s posts collaged as backgrounds, since I cannot physically be in those places in my own posts. Having my presence and the "objects" with me in the photographs act as a means of possession, which may help release my anxiety and reduce the urgency of greed.
