These works are a playful approach to what it seems a serious and contentious issue: money. They are what you see – a humorous view at bills and what they intend to mean. I always found the aesthetics of bills very alluring. They immortalize a country's heroes and exalts its monuments as symbols of rectitude. I put a spin on this vision by subverting the proud image that represents each dollar bill.
