Used desks, inactive ambitions, surplus personnel, dead office rituals, minor wear, obsolete authority, and fully functional emotional residue are now available at drastically reduced prices. No reasonable offer will be refused. No memories will be appraised above market value. Everything is operational until proven otherwise. Everything has been depreciated for your convenience. Browse now, before the system shuts down permanently." With his familiar language of retro interfaces, synthetic images, digital anxiety, and dark humor, Don’t Buy turns the corporate catalog into a theater of late-capitalist absurdity. These works mimic the cheerful neutrality of enterprise software and liquidation platforms, but beneath the deadpan pricing lies a sharper question: what happens when people, memory, labor, and identity are managed like depreciating assets? The browser window becomes a coffin, the product page becomes a personnel file, and the discount tag becomes an emotional diagnosis. At once funny, cruel, and strangely tender, Liquidation reflects on the human condition in the digital age through the aesthetics of disposal. Here, technology does not preserve us; it archives our usefulness. The collection invites viewers to browse the ruins of productivity culture, where every object carries the residue of office life, every body is optimized into a category, and every failed system finds one last opportunity for resale.
