Window Shopping

Shopping is a constant, the consumption of goods and services. Taking into account the online market, most shopping still happens in a physical space: a grocery store, a gift shop, the list goes on. All provide products to be consumed, and contribute to the construction of an identity.

The "shop", the store is an intriguing space. It is a place that is public by nature. People wander about looking for a product that best suits their need. At the same time, the persons looks into themselves, in contemplation of the offered objects searching for desire. The store then becomes a place of introspection, forgoing a presence for the public eye, no longer posing or posturing for the gaze of the people. Immersed in the moment, oblivious to the surrounding environment, the shopper is exposed. It is these moments of introspection that I feel need reflection. It is these moments of reflections that is the focus of this series. Those small instances we experience while looking for significance. It is a process of mutual consumption.
