"Intolerable Beauty"

In today's world everybody wants to get the newest cellphone, computers, clothes, etc. We are all involve in this irresponsible consumption because culture influences us. I believe sometimes we don't even realize the things that we throw away , we just care about the new things we are getting.

Society has change and in this period of time media and friends are always showing us new unnecessary things to buy. We don't care about how our consumption is affecting nature because I believe that we are selfish beings. But I think it is important to realize that our actions today will affect us or will affect our kids tomorrow.

From my point of view it is difficult to imagine the dimension of our consumption. For example after we dispose a cellphone we forget where it goes or what happens to it. An art that helped me to create awareness was "Intolerable Beauty "by Christ Jordan. I found his photographies really interesting and informative. These portraits show a reality of todays world and create awareness for consumers like you and me.

It is important to understand what is happening around us and be responsible consumers because our actions are affecting our planet and this is our home.
