Coins, Subway Cards and Debit Cards

Reactivating a Common Currency

Reflecting on the financial aspects of my life as an immigrant and the overall economic implications of living and working as an artist, I have used coins and metro cards as a painting surface, reactivating and reevaluating a common currency.

With sculptural thick texture brush strokes, I have depicted on these surfaces familiar heroic scenes, architectural heritage sites, and urban sculptures, all monuments of a past long gone.
