Capitalism
Permanent blue marker and industrial adhesive, applied directly onto the surface of Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, synthetic polymer paint on five canvases. The work's aesthetics were defaced by two members of Stop Fossil Fuel Subsidies to reframe supermarket iconography not as abundance, but as warning. Covered by The Guardian, Australian broadcasters, and widely circulated across international media and social platforms.
