Clearance Discount – Mixed Media

In Fauzi Sedon’s mixed media work entitled ‘Clearance Discount 60%’ it depicts Fauzi’s intention to convey a distinctive message in which it looks at a mixed emotional integration of text and perhaps thoughts of today’s social happenings which encircles around shopping and the spending of money on material needs. This is an interesting take that expresses how the current social environment is like and is one that Fauzi expresses so effectively.
