A pitiful crowd swarming money. Is it sustenance for tomorrow or tomorrow's trouble?
Money & Work

Description

Money is the enchanted spell of paper and metal, representing a society’s shared valuation. It serves as a medium to exchange labor and desire, yet doubles as a measure of one’s own worth. Though it remains mere scraps in a wallet, humanity cannot escape its dominion and works ceaselessly under its influence. To some it embodies security, to others it marks the start of an endless pursuit.
