This work stages a sharp reflection on the value and power of money. The repetition of one-dollar bills, deformed into a fluid motion that converges to a point, evokes the idea of flow, as if it were an energy that runs. The choice to incorporate a real faucet, from which money seems to pour, amplifies the conceptual dimension: money as a liquid, manipulable resource, and at the same time illusory.

In this way, the artist does not merely depict money, but stages it as spectacle and paradox: an inexhaustible source of desire, but also a symbol of a power that slides away from and escapes from hands.
