Thesis Defense (me) conducted four different interviews requesting that the interviewees present an object of attachment surrounding their understanding and belief to the object’s purpose, whether it serves them spiritually, symbolizes itself as a deity, or is just a reminder of the hero’s journey.

Interview questions focused on the chosen interviewees backgrounds, the story of their chosen object, and their conscious relationships with materialism, spirituality and beliefs in either one or multiple deitys.

Finally, once interviews were recorded, edited, and reviewed by Defense, they were used as references for the composition of five large scale screenprints that served apart of the Defense’s supporting claims.
