‘Gods of Suburbia’: Dina Goldstein’s Arresting Photo Series on Religion vs. Consumerism

THE DAILY BEAST
Laksmi is the Hindu goddess of wealth, beauty and money
CANADA---"Gods of Suburbia" is Dina Goldstein’s third large-scale project. The work is a visual analysis of religious faith within the context of the modern forces of technology, science and secularism. The series plays with narrative and religious iconography in order to communicate how organized belief has become twisted within a global framework driven by consumerism and greed. The project challenges the viewer — religious or secular — to embark on a journey of self-reflection as they contemplate the relevance of dogma in modernity. [link]
