A mood board or Tumblr is an online medium where an individual’s objects, desires and ego are embedded.
An online environment where you traverse geologies of objects/desires, like a utopian dream, the blog isn't a place of repression but an environment where you can surround yourself in an ideal aesthetic.
The images are a combination of stock-esque imagery and memes as well as images that Brandon Rahme has found on Tumblr. They all at one stage existed on his Tumblr during January 1st 2013-14.
Ultimately this work demonstrates the unattainable nature of living in a utopian environment.
