Old Money

Sculpture
Plastic, acrylic, banknotes; 20 cm
Edition: 50.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The sculpture encapsulates stability, tradition, and influence passed down through generations. Unlike fleeting wealth, this money remains, shaping legacies and forging elites. Genuine banknotes from different countries serve as a reminder that true wealth is not merely about quantity but also about the history behind it. In this piece, money transforms into a symbol of power and continuity while remaining an elusive and paradoxical force.

LEGEND:
On the Planet of Brands, old money is uniquely prized – not carelessly spent, but protected and bestowed upon a select few. Banknotes encased in acrylic are a poignant reminder that true wealth lies not only in the amount, but in the history it carries. In this piece, money becomes a symbol of power and lineage, even as it remains an equally fragile and multifaceted concept.

Each banknote within the sculpture is authentic, meticulously chosen to capture the spirit of the Old Money idea.

SPECIFICATIONS:
The sculpture is made up of real banknotes, metal, plastic, acrylic.
