EMPTY / LIKE [2011]

 EMPTY is a series of images based on the layout of popular social networking sites - simplified to basic geometric components.  These sites provide us with so much information, however the information is rarely important, creating a hollow existence.
LIKE is a project derived from the idea that if everything in the digital world can be 'liked' why can't everything in the physical world?  Stickers were printed in three different styles and posted on public flyers, advertisements, near student artwork, on friends and strangers at parties, on mundane objects, etc.  This project aligned with the proverb 'If you can't beat them, join them' by taking a step in the physical world and spreading the same message that was plaguing the digital world, found on nearly every website today.
