About the Book
There is a fine line between identifying someone as “entitled” verses “privileged”, yet people repeatedly continue to misuse the two. Entitled signifies someone that feels they are inherently deserving of special consideration or treatment without having to first earn it. Privileged, on the other hand, is having the rare opportunity to do something or be a part of something that brings particular pleasure that must be earned, and can be revoked at any time.

There have been countless times I’ve been mistakenly called entitled. Growing up, I was raised in a household where if I wanted something, it had to be earned. While realizing how very fortunate my life has been, I have never taken any of this for granted.
Creating this book allowed me to delve deeply into my own personal feelings and emotions towards advertisements and the millennials that is rapidly gaining notoriety through mass media. I decided to include two parts in this book. The first being the relationship between the object and the price as seen in the media and the second being my interpretation of the products and the aesthetics surrounding them. My process was a very long and strenuous one. This is the first time that I’m putting myself directly into my work. This required me to take a step back from my normal creative process, away from my computer, and reflect on what I want my work to emulate. My generation, specifically the millennials, only seem to thrive off of the number of likes or followers they get from a post. We now have access to a limitless virtual world of “perfection” that inevitably feeds this obsession of a lifestyle that is ultimately unattainable and unrealistic to most, and yet we continue to fall victim to this narcissistic society based on the influences of advertisements and consumerism.
