CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU

A series examining power, wealth, and the illusion of permanence, revealing what remains when everything external is stripped away.

These works confront the tension between accumulation and consequence, where status, control, and identity dissolve, leaving only truth behind.

GREEDY BASTARD

Greedy Bastard is the universal idea of gut-wrenching breach of trust. “A suit of greed you wear with sorted pride and ignorance, blind eyes to the reality of what you have done”.

POLARIZING POLITICIAN

This satirical skull critiques leaders who gain power through division and fear, symbolizing corruption, control, and the weight of the few over the many.

TWO FACED FOOL

Reveals duplicity and narcissism through two masks—a charming clown and a deceptive liar—warning of power built on manipulation and betrayal.

“What we accumulate defines us, until it doesn’t.”
