THE NECESSITY OF FEELING SUPERIOR
An essay and an original song about status, taste, and the human need to feel above somebody else.
Why is being better than someone else so often more satisfying than being happy with ourselves?
This project began as an essay for TABLE FOR NOBODY, examining the quiet rituals of superiority, the performance of taste, and the absurd lengths people go to in order to feel exceptional.
The idea then moved into music. Using Suno as a creative tool, the essay became an original song, carrying the same uncomfortable question from the page into sound.
Two forms, one obsession: the human appetite for status.
