New York-based artist Molly Dilworth seeks to give form to things that invisibly motivate our actions. This particular piece functions as an indirect commentary on capitalism. The three sculptures represent everyday consumer items which, in today's global economy, are often produced in areas of scarcity and sold to areas of abundance, an imbalance hidden from consumers. Together, the pieces, flattened like digital interfaces, form a pictographic network that stands for people and communities as well as the goods they produce and consume.
