                          The 50 Shades of Cake is Political

“For example, the fact that these images belong to the moment but speak of the future produces a strange effect which has become so familiar that we scarcely notice it”(John Berger). When it comes to art, many people have and see different emotions and messages. Looking into art is the way to produce meaning; seeing entails recognizing or linking the information that your eyes take in with your previous knowledge and experiences. The purpose behind the art can be activist or as much as an emotion splattered on a piece of paper. Every art piece has a reason behind it. 

Nancy Buchanan is one particular artist that gives real life to her art. Buchanan was born on August 30, 1946, in Los Angeles, California, and is an artist. She graduated with her BFA and MFA from the University of California, Irvine. Her work has included installation, performance, and video art, which she is best known for showing activism through art. Buchanan has been creating movies and concerts that integrate personal and political elements since the 1970s. She played a pivotal role in the feminist art movement in Los Angeles throughout the 1970s. Buchanan has thoughtfully considered social and political concerns such as women's rights.

The art at hand we will talk about today is “50 shades of cake”. The art 50 Shades of Cake was made to show how fast the world's consumption rate increased. These grayish cakes convey the rapaciousness of consumer desire. In this case, the quote of the fat kid loves cake is in this form, but instead of a kid, it is used for the consumers in America. The consumer rate increase shows the greed in the situation. The cake gives you the main focus of having your cake and eating it too, as well as everyone having a slice. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures how much a basket of goods and services costs on average over time which in this case increases. CPI is most often used for inflation gauge, which gives them the right to see the supply and demand of prices of today. 

Like the cake, it is gorgeous with flowers just like the products it attracts you to, but just like the junk food gives you a stomach ache after eating it, your pockets hurt after buying the pretty product. “ It is important here not to confuse publicity with measures or benefits. Fifty shades of cake are more than just floral cake; it speaks valid values of how money is spent and what it is spent on. It is sad to say, but many, especially in the field, are greedy so just like the goes with added layers inside, so do the prices of needed goods. I believe that for a person that lives in the urban community, the cake is only for the people who can afford it, but that isn't fair for those who can not. The consumer increase can increase something as small as a box of cereal. However, many do not understand that increase can hurt more than bring up. The cake gives a social life because money is lovely, just like cake but a cake can not have many layers. It will fall over and crash just like society if prices keep going up the way it does  

In my selfie, I used my sister for her eleventh birthday. However, I used this photo because it had a cake. She is a part of today's youth. As we can tell, the consumer of today's world starts young with something as small as a gorgeous doll. The industry puts designs and inventions on all social media platforms. Children only blitz and glam, so they are vulnerable and see no price. The consumer market of supply and demand knows how to increase rates and make more money for country greed.

 In conclusion, Inflation is the prominent consumer rate increase in the cost of everything from a rib-eye steak and a bar of Ivory soap to an eye exam and a tank of petrol. Ways to help is to look at the main reason for the demand is budget your money to stay above the float. As suppliers try to provide more of the items that customers and businesses want, prices rise somewhat. When unemployment is low, and wages are rising, consumer confidence is high, which leads to increased spending. Keeping your income with the times is way better; therefore, no increase will bring you down as much.
