Description of idea

Describe your idea and concept of your work in relation to the festival outlines:

Most of the banks give you a lot of promises. They always use attractive slogans , like "with no strings attached!" My work is a single photograph that shows a man with an invisible string attached to his pocket, stopping him from moving from forward from an empty place towards Dubai's skyscrapers. This is a metaphor for moving toward success and being financial stable. However, the photograph is ironic at the same time, because Dubai's skyscraper is the main reason for Dubai's debt.
