Celebrityism is a series of collages focusing on America's obsession with celebrities. News of celebrities has replaced real news, as in the case of Anna Nicole's death and when Paris Hilton went to jail. The public then is bombarded with repeated imagery of these celebrities. The ornate frames are to symbolize the royalty status given to celebrities and there are several religious iconitry references to denote how they have become the gods of modern times. "Celebrityism" represents our misplaced values raising the celebrity above us, culminating in the depreciation of the significance of everyday living.
