Worthless Sample, 2024
A term used for products sent for demonstration purposes but not suitable for direct use, “worthless sample” reflects the idea that in the age of mechanical reproduction, artworks are reduced to mere copies. Behind the glass panel lies a symbolic vending machine filled with identical, anonymous roly-poly dolls, devoid of any price or identity. The work critiques consumer-driven culture and invites reflection on the loss of originality.
