Description

We are a culture that loves to quantify.  If we can measure it, we can assign value.  Statistics take over our lives if we let them. But what if you are not a perfect 4.0 student, not 36-24-36, no 5’6″ 110 pounds, don’t weigh and measure your food, miscounted your carbs, your SAT score was less than 800, you are not worth $1,000,000? What is the effect of this pervasive number crunching on how we value each other?

This installation of 45 framed numbers is a logical, linear charting of a 40 pound weight loss that seeks to disrupt the perception/perfection of measurement versus value.
