I intend to create an exhaustive catalog of the faces and untold stories of the middle class, especially those who battle between having a remunerative career and pursuing their dreams. Grocery bags are the metaphors of commodities and also the carriers of commodities. This series highlights the power of art, social pressures that burden creatives, the internal and external struggles throughout their career transitions, life experiences of being artists in our modern era, and the impact of late capitalism on the landscape of the human condition. ​ ​ To read more about the interviews, please visit: https://www.kacyjung.com/Blog/​ Special thanks to @courtgriffith @zachsearcy​ to be part of this project.
