Social currency is a modern extension of Pierre Bourdieu’s 1980s ideas of social and cultural capital, which emphasized the non-monetary forms of status derived from networks and cultural assets.
A selfie is the new currency of today.
We use it to pay our dues.
We no longer ask: “How are you doing?”
We scroll and evaluate: “Are you marketable today?”
This painting explores how we market ourselves,
position our self as a brand,
and maybe, sometimes forget
that we are not a product, but a person.
