Challenging digital consumption

Technologies become obsolete and are left for dead, leaving a trail of inadequate failures.

Using my image collection and embracing [although warily] digital platforms is a form of irony I want to be interpreted. I am very much challenging digital remnants and us as consumers - using a digital platform provides me with a satirical approach to my concept. 

The intimate moments are curated and captured with the location clear. Filters and angles help to promote my images in a way that questions our current digital consumption. I think to try and sell this stuff would be really interesting as it provides a solution to the continual discard of e-waste, an optimism.

It is a consistent project which could span a long time and then when you look back to when I started it the technology that is being discarded would be non-existent and we would all be throwing out our iphone 6's, Macbook airs to make way for our iphone 10's. It makes me question the future, which is something I could explore, will phones even exist in 50 years or will we be able to compress technology even further?
