Caption Of Artwork: This piece explores the growing burden of economic struggles as grocery prices continue to rise. Receipts are layered throughout, acting as both evidence of daily survival and symbols of excess, questioning the fine line between need and overconsumption. Each name included speaks to the collective impact—those who contribute, those who endure. It reflects the imbalance in access to resources and the wastefulness built into consumer culture. Through this work, the goal is to spark conversation about the true cost of consumption, the consequences of a system driven by profit, and the hidden cost of everyday survival.
