My goal with the project Overexposure to the Main Character is to examine the cultural norm that has become prevalent in recent years, of being consumed with one's own well being and isolated from community. This phenomenon ties in closely with several factors of modern American society; social media influence, political divides, religious nationalism, and most of all, environment. Not just the environment that one grows up in but actual man made infrastructure and designing a country around cars. At the core of this project is an examination of how cars have made people so independent from community, separating humans from nature and trapping us in a bubble of our own design. My intention is to make work within this project that gives me permission and a guideline to follow in exploring how I can really portray what it is like to observe and be a part of the harmful mindset of the main character.
