When I think of consumption, many things come to minds. It could be something as simple as literal as eating. But then there's a less literal philosophy, of one person overtaking another. This can be a good or bad thing, but the word has a negative connotation. It sounds funny to say someone consumed someone else, and they liked it. It's more so associated with someone being consumed, and therefore destroyed by someone else. Like someone has taken something from them. Playing on the different shades of gray of this word will be a challenge, and an interesting artistic exploration.
Voice
As Dale Carnegie once said, the thing people love to hear the most, is their own name. Voice is extremely important to people's lives, whether it be communicating or self expression. Without voice, one is defenseless, without a way to say what they think. They have been robbed of their own thoughts.
Sex
Ahh, the ever so difficult topic, yet all encompassing topic of sex. Such a broad topic, with so many directions to fall into. Where to start? In visual imagery, sex is everywhere, because sex sells. But not only does sex sell, but the appeal of sex. The notion that "You must look like this if you want to have sex with someone who looks like this!" is constantly bombarding our minds with every commercial, ad, and billboard we see.
However, my focus will not be on exploiting these subliminal messages (I feel that's overdone, and not particularly interesting to me). For me, I will use sex in the sense of one person VERSUS another. The control aspect, the respect aspect, the love aspect, and the hate aspect.
