📌"Inspired by the overwhelming 'buy now' ads and excessive packaging he saw in fast food chains in Mexico City in the fall of 2021, Carlos Mesa, who develops neo-pop art on the themes of consumer culture and globalization, created this work in two weeks using digital tools and collage techniques. It was exhibited at the Mexico City Contemporary Art Exhibition in 2022, sparking a fierce debate about consumerism."
📌"The artwork satirizes the excesses of consumer culture through cake, fries and diamonds. The cake represents false satisfaction, the fries represent fast food culture, the diamonds represent the temptation of luxury, and the 'BUY NOW' advertising fragment reveals the oppression of capitalism, delivering a critique of global consumerism."
