Infinite Print Artist Statement

For my infinite print I wanted to comment on how society seems to have this obsession with brand name fashion. People will spend hundred to thousands of dollars on items just for the label. These high end brands have become a symbol of high class and wealth. When we see people wearing designer brands it is typically assumed that that person has lots of extra money to spend on luxury items. It's fascinating how much people will spend, mainly for the purpose of showing off their economic status. I believe that in theory, when people make the choice to buy something for the brand name they are essentially buying themselves a high class reputation, whether they actually have it or not. For my infinite print I want to create an image of a girl who appears to be blinded by all the high end fashion labels. I want to show how people will get absorbed in the hype over designer brands, when in the end it should just be about the function of the product rather than its label.
