A CRITIQUE OF CONSUMERISM AND THE ERASURE OF THE INNER EGO

I explore the intersection of psychological theory and contemporary culture. My research investigates how the relentless pursuit of material wealth serves as a mechanism for the systematic erasure of the inner ego. By analyzing the architectural structures of consumerism — from the 1980s yuppie 'mask' to modern medical stasis — I seek to uncover the hidden narratives that define our collective identity in a post-industrial landscape.
