Assignment was to utilize Maya to create a modern take on a Vanitas, which were still lives that arranged items of worldly pleasures, being a symbolic representation of the fleetingness and worthlessness of these objects after death. Contemporarily, I feel there is a large focus on consumerism, either consuming products or selling them to make a profit. So often consumerism is seen as a sign of success and a person's worth, whether they have enough money to consume more or not. I find this to be quite futile and empty, as one can always consume more. Consumption is completely independent from satisfaction in one's life. To represent this idea, I chose to create a still life of fast food created out of cardboard and paper. It is something literally meant to be consumed, it may look appetizing from a distance, but in reality is completely void of any substance, just as consumption for the pure sake of it is meaningless.
