Enshrined: Treasures Found Amongst the Trash of an Overconsuming Society

This Pop Up undergraduate exhibition by Maddalyn Weishan and Lorelai Lewis, 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, 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.
