(2025 post)
Throughout this week, we’re sharing works in a digital exhibition created by Washburn student Oliver Salazar.
"Objects as Embodiments" is a collection of pieces that focus on the objects we use in everyday life. From a shopping cart half your city has touched to a chair that welcomes you to relax everyday after work, these are the things we look past but that see the entire world with us.
The artist called this work “a play on the concepts of the psychologist Carl Gustav Jung.” This mezzotint openly messes with the belief Jung had regarding the collective unconscious, stemming from Durkheim's collective conscious theory. In these theories there's a shared belief of layers to your mind that shape who you are and your connections with other people. Do you think the receipt holder is representative of how we’re all interrelated?
