This artwork is part of a series where specific quotes, encountered in books, newspapers, and web media, are isolated and cut out of security screens.
The quote is open to various interpretations: it could evoke the incessant, extractive, and unsustainable nature of the current economic framework. It may serve as a commentary on overconsumption or as an exhortation to transcend one’s limitations.
The security screen, a material synonymous with vacant properties and the fear of risky investments, also embodies a transitory nature.
It exists temporarily, bridging different chapters, and waits patiently during challenging times, with the understanding that new opportunities will soon emerge.
