HOUSE OF GODS
Inspired by the hidden meanings and stories found in everyday goods. House of Gods is a collection obsessed the little luxuries in life and how luxury goods have borrowed names, symbols and meaning from ancient mythologies.
The collection features two series, the originals and the copies. Each series has a set of colourways, hiding common consumerism critiques within. While a uv-reactive glow in the dark layer reveals the reproductions of gods, as seen through reproductions of classical paintings and statues, questioning where does symbolism end and branding begin?
