Rowan Eriksson’s work revolves around two major themes, the exploration of the impact of social media and advertising on self-identity and the definition our bodies through the lens of American politics. In my first major series, I explore the amalgamation of elements from American advertising, product packaging, literary narratives, and mythologies, intersecting with queer culture. This fusion gives rise to dynamic compositions that not only capture the contradictions and challenges inherent in navigating a world inundated with information and imagery but also specifically address the commodification and exploitation of bodies within the capitalist framework. Each piece serves as a catalyst for discussions on the ever-evolving standards of beauty and the nuanced interplay between nostalgia and the violence of capitalist exploitation.
