"Mari Kasurinen's collection of "My Little Pop Icons," is a series of My Little Pony-inspired individual pieces that collectively create a nuanced body of work. Kasurinen's inspiration for the project stems heavily from the digital age obssession with the personal brand, and what it means to translate that brand into a commentary on individualism and consumerism." -James Nichols, The Huffington Post
