Abstract
Moldables for Sale is a series of creative works intended to explore digital consumerism and its impact on feminine spaces and identities. Each piece is developed with consideration of feminist art history and theory to better understand why digital spaces continue to contribute to misogyny rather than eliminate it, and to learn why digital consumerism benefits so much from the objectification of women. These creative works speak to the struggle between wanting to reject objectification despite finding pleasure within the objectified consumer identity, as well as discovering the empowerment that can come from admitting ones’ vulnerabilities to generate empathy for others.
