This Pop Up undergraduate exhibition explores themes of overconsumption, idealization, and the American Dream. Each pedestal enshrines a particular ideal: accomplishment, family, memory, time, home, and adolescence. Either recycled, from the garbage, or thrifted, all of the objects on the pedestals share more in common with the junk below than first meets the eye, interrogating the nature of the pedestal and what objects we choose to idealize with them.
