Sound Project: Clothing Overconsumption Acts
In this project, you are in the point of view of the consumer. The person who is influenced by what they see online, who follows up with trends and what’s “in” and “out,” who wants to look like the best version of themselves. But, although it can be difficult, there are more pressing things to be dealt with.
