i Didn’t Have an iPod Growing Up and i Never Got Over It is a work born from a personal longing for something she never owned herself. The artist created a selection of replicas of every type of iPod ever released, capturing the essence of these devices despite them not being ‘real.’ Through these replicas, the artist bridges the gap between unattainable objects and the sensation of owning them. The work delves into knockoff culture, reflecting on how it satisfies desires and navigates the constraints of limited access.
iPods are available for individual purchase here.
