Positive Illusion

Year: 2009
Technique: ink on paper, 21 x 29,7 cm

A series of drawings through which I address the contemporary subjectivity intertwined with pursuit of happiness, self-help and pop psychology and the aesthetics of advertising in ironic way. I use motives borrowed from stock photographs offered through the online databases with a recognizable value to marketing and advertising designers and combine them with psychological tests evaluating life orientation, level of hope, satisfaction with life, subjective happiness and similar personal characteristics.
