The folly of endless consumerism sends us on a wild goose-chase for happiness through materialism.

We live in an era of consumerism and it's all about desire-based consumerism and it has nothing to do with things we actually need.

All of my work is meant to evoke a whole bunch of different layers of discord between the attraction and repulsion that we feel toward our consumer habits and our consumer lives.

Consumer society tantalises us. We then try within ourselves to control the needs that are being constantly stimulated.

We're living at this funny time, where we're all urged to express ourselves as unique individuals, but on the other hand, we share a limited set of tools for doing that. It's easy to feel like nothing more than the sum of your consumer choices.

Our personal consumer choices have ecological, social, and spiritual consequences. It is time to re-examine some of our deeply held notions that underlie our lifestyles.

Consumerism is at once the engine of America and simultaneously one of the most revealing indicators of our collective shallowness.

I think a lot of self-identity and inner-personal development is hampered by consumerism and capitalism because we see ourselves as a reflection of the TV, rather than as a reflection of the people who are around us, truly.

Status-driven, conspicuous consumption thrives from the language of novelty.

What consumerism really is, at its worst is getting people to buy things that don't actually improve their lives.
