Eating Money

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

In today’s world the worries of debt are a constant treat to survival. Greed and desire have lead to a selfish society. Through the use of a Cree Proverb which goes “Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money” I hope to draw attention to the fact that greed causes debt and that money is not everything in life. Through the use typography I hope to create an interesting and powerful piece that will make people stop and think in this greedy and selfish world we live in.
