Live Life Freely
Kelly Parks Snider 2007
Mixed media
Panel measurements: 44"x 77"

In the past, our identities were based on our interests - the music we listened to, what we did with our free time, our families, and accomplishments.

Today, advertisers want to create our identities for us based on a label we wear or a store we shop at. Advertisers don't want us to be original. They want us to buy whatever they're selling based on the label. They also encourage us to judge others based on their labels supporting stereotypes, presumptions and assumptions.

Live Life Freely challenges each of us to be an individual, to dress the way we want to dress, to live our lives making our decisions about how we spend our time, our money and who we choose to spend it with.
