The Factory Worker, 2016

Photography, 100 x 100 cm

Combining photography, digital manipulation and self-portraiture, The Factory Worker aims to express the repercussions of mass consumerism and capitalism on the people producing the world’s products — the factory worker. In this series, Buddha embodies the factory worker, where his teachings of compassion and detachment from desire are lost. Exploited for commercial gain, Buddha suffers the consequences.
