Fiat of Fiction, Art Print
"Fiat of Fiction" Art Print (2024) delves into the intersection of cultural mythology and economic power in a world where the boundaries between entertainment and commerce are increasingly blurred. By placing a beloved cartoon character on a $20 bill, this artwork critiques how popular culture icons have become entangled with monetary systems. A deliberate series of misspellings disrupts the traditional narrative, offering a subtle yet pointed critique of the imperfections and constructed nature of currency and cultural symbols. These intentional errors challenge the perceived reliability and authority of systems—whether economic or cultural—that we often take for granted. "Fiat of Fiction" invites viewers to reflect on how these intertwined symbols shape our understanding of value and the evolving narratives that define our society.
