Power: Money and Consumerism

My idea for this project is to showcase my desire and need for color in my life. When people look at it they aren't going to understand how it relates to consumerism or even money and that's what I want. I want it to be more about the desire than the money. I plan on using flour to showcase a lack of color with a self portrait and then use powder paint and regular face paint to show a progression from almost absence of color to full blown color. I want the final piece to be almost chaotic but not so overwhelming that people don't want to look at it. It's a rather unconventional idea but I believe it will showcase what I really want to say in terms of this project.
