consumer comforts

“Consumer Comforts” showcases Percy, a Disney character from my formative childhood years who was infatuated with luxury. This trophy has plural connotations: visually referencing a taxidermied animal trophy while also denoting an award for achievement. The beheaded character an assault on a soft and innocent object and the trophy as a marker of success establishes a symbolic dichotomy that aims to challenge learned perceptions of success vs. failure in contemporary American Capitalism, and the engagement in production and consumption - the hunt - required to obtain this marketed product of success - The American Dream (is dead).
