My artistic expression highlights the negative aspects of capitalism that I find concerning. The low threshold and grasping hands reaching towards the glowing dollar symbolize the universal pursuit of wealth under this system. It is as if the goal of financial success is constantly held at a lofty height, figuratively and literally, creating a sense of perpetual striving.

The artwork aims to visually embody my idea of humanizing the city through "third places" —spaces designed for relaxation and recreational activities beyond work or isolation at home. The interconnected hands signify camaraderie among city dwellers, particularly within the urban setting. The blue text was deliberately selected for its contrast with the underlying black text and the central black-and-white image, creating a visually striking composition.

This artwork visually depicts the concept of mysticism using typography. The phrase "As Above, So Below" in the center of the artwork is derived from Hermeticism and suggests that events on Earth or in the material world are reflective of the spiritual world, including heaven and hell. This concept aligns with the theme of mysticism, which involves the study and practice of self-reflection as a means to achieve closeness to God. The opposing figures in the artwork represent the contrasting aspects of ascension and damnation encountered during a spiritual journey.
