Ebb and Ruin Artwork

"Ebb and Ruin" is a mixed-media artwork that vividly captures the devastating impact of money and greed on our ecosystem. The piece features dead coral reefs intricately formed from tiny pieces of shredded money, symbolizing the corrosive influence of financial greed on nature. In the center, the dark blue water, crafted with resin, appears lifeless and still, evoking a profound sense of loss and stagnation. This artwork is a powerful visual metaphor, compelling viewers to confront the stark reality of environmental destruction driven by human avarice and reflect on the urgent need for sustainable change. Acrylics, shredded money, glow-in-the-dark acrylic, and resin on a 14"x 14"x 2" stretched canvas, 2024.
