  The shipping container as metaphor is the subject of this body of work. This anonymous cube is a powerful symbol of today's global economy. As a standardized tool, it has accelerated the delivery and broadened the distribution of goods and culture. The shipping container has transformed complex supply chains into a part of everyday commerce among nations. This heightened connectivity between diverse countries, largely made possible by the use of shipping containers has promoted and lead to an overall homogenization of cultures. This body of work visually references this interconnectivity of our contemporary global economy and the resulting homogenization.
