Silk

100% silk and 100% faux silk

36 x 36 x .1 in.

This pair of visually indistinguishable scarves are differentiated only by their materials: one is crafted from genuine silk, the other from faux silk. Displayed side-by-side, they challenge conventional notions of value and the factors that influence our perception of worth. Does the choice of material inherently dictate the object's value, or are there more complex factors at play? By comparing these scarves, viewers are prompted to reflect on how we assign value and price to objects and to contemplate the implications of our choices in determining what we consider valuable or desirable.
