This work stages a cutting 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 energy that runs. The choice to integrate a real faucet from which money seems to gush amplifies the conceptual dimension: money as a liquid, manipulable resource, and at the same time illusory.

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

The work is a digital painting on 350 g canvas, the faucet is iron, the drop is resin with an iron core, it is shipped already mounted on a wooden frame, frame not included.
