AFFLUENZA describes the psychological and social effects of affluence. It is a portmanteau of affluence and influenza, and is used most commonly by critics of consumerism.

This series of seven photographs represents my first fully realized personal project, completed in 2024. What began as a few rough sketches on my iPad turned into the following collection.

Every image reflects a huge labor of love, and I’m excited to finally share it publicly!
