Fortress of Fortune

In this piece, I explore the concept of wealth accumulation and the symbolic power of money. The image features a tightly bound stack of bills, meticulously arranged in a pyramid shape. The crisp lines and sharp angles of the pyramid suggest a sense of stability and power. The black background isolates the stack of money, making it the sole focus of the composition. The muted tones emphasize the stark contrast between the light and dark elements, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue.

I was inspired by the way that money can be seen as a powerful tool and a source of security. The pyramid shape also has historical connotations of power and grandeur, which I wanted to evoke in this piece. The lack of detail on the bills themselves allows the viewer to consider their own definition of wealth and its significance.
