REFLECTIONS ON CONSUMERISM BY JUSTIN DAHIN
Hello! Thank you for visiting my webpage. My name is Justin Dahin, I am a third year Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences major focusing on communications at Arizona State University. Over this fall 2021 semester I have had the pleasure of exploring what it means to live in a consumer culture. This webpage will include various works I have created to explore my feelings on consumerism, from personal experiences, to real life/ ad comparisons and analysis.
As I move forward in my academic and professional careers I aim to use this site as a place to continuously update with my works, thoughts, and projects. Please find a link to my resume
"I was always an unusual girl, my mother told me that I had a chameleon soul. No moral compass pointing me due north, no fixed personality. Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide as wavering as the ocean. And if I said that I didn't plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying- because I was born to be the other woman. I belonged to no one- who belonged to everyone, who had nothing- who wanted everything with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about- and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.
Every night I used to pray that I’d find my people- and finally I did- on the open road. We have nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore- except to make our lives into a work of art.”
