INTRODUCTION
My personal project spurred from my life-long passion for art, and my interest in commercial branding and capitalism. Together, I chose a topic that I was, and still am, extremely interested in, even after working on it for an extended period of time. Throughout the decades, artists have found inspiration from social circumstances, political ideologies, pop culture, current events, and so much more. While looking at this modern, digital age, I came to realise a lot of aspects of society today that I disagree with, leading me to the topic of consumerism and consumption. Coupled with my interest in street art and urban culture, I decided to create a mural based on a social issue; consumerism. My goal was to create a mural, which expresses a social issue, and put it up in a public place in downtown Istanbul. A goal that I succeeded in meeting. I decided to focus more on the technical aspects of creating the mural, rather than completely basing the topic off of the message, because I wanted to put more emphasis on the art aspect. I am a firm believer that art is as valuable as any other subject, and it should be equally appreciated.
