MOTHERLODE IS A CHEAT CODE AT LIFE. JUST AS IT IS COMMONLY USED BY USERS IN THE SIMS GAME TO GET RICH QUICK, THE zz___0o AVATARS ARE AS DIGITALLY WEALTHY AS THEY COME.
 
THIS COLLECTION ESTABLISHES ARCHETYPES BASED ON MY NEW-COME PROXIMITY WITH WEALTH, THROUGH PRIVATE EDUCATION AND NAVIGATING THE FASHION INDUSTRY. FROM A BIASED AND FRUSTRATED OBSERVER STANDPOINT, MOTHERLODE IS A DEPICTION OF AN INTRICATE DANCE BETWEEN PRIVILEGE AND ASPIRATION BASED ON MY ENCOUNTERS WITH HARKONNEN SNOBS, CORPORATE CANNIBALS AND OLIGARCHS WANNA-BES.
 
‘MONEY FOR NOTHING’ BY DIRE STRAITS WAS RELEASED IN 1985. THE LYRICS ARE WRITTEN FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF TWO WORKING-CLASS MEN WATCHING MTV MUSIC VIDEOS IN A DEPARTMENT STORE, COMPLAINING ABOUT ROCKSTARS EXCESS AND THE EASY LIFE THAT COMES ALONG WITH IT.
