Description
"Money Talks" delves into the pervasive and complex influence of money on power dynamics and social hierarchies. The work invites contemplation on the scale and reach of financial influence. How does money shape one's ability to wield power and command influence? This theme explores the vast chasm between those who possess wealth and those who do not, probing the implications for individuals and society as a whole.
The collage, composed of various symbolic images and fragmented visuals, embodies the idea that wealth can amplify one's voice and visibility while silencing and obscuring others. The absence of a mouth and a missing eye in the human silhouette suggests a lack of agency and visibility for those marginalized by the financial system. The burned appearance of the remaining eye implies the scars left by financial hardship.
"Money Talks" challenges viewers to reflect on the disparities of influence and power. It questions the extent to which financial power can extend, and contrasts those with limited influence against those who seemingly possess limitless control. The title itself serves as a stark reminder of the loud, often domineering voice of money in shaping our world and our lives.
