accessory

Description

An accessory is the epitome of attempting to prove one’s existence by adorning oneself with small shiny objects. The glitter promises momentary attention, yet one soon realizes both the heart and wallet have become hollow in irony. In consumer society, true beauty is secondary to the numbers on the price tag. As long as you keep buying and storing, that sparkle is doomed to an eternal cycle.

• A small peddler in consumer society that sells seconds of attention for thousands of yen.
• An accessory symbolizing human hypocrisy that prioritizes vanity over environmental care.
