ORIGINAL DRAWING / MEDIUM BIRO
1080mm x 870mm

Credits A and B are presented as templates for a new world currency, ambiguous in nature but makes us wonder what earth would be like with one unifying denomination?

The currency displays symbols to commemorate the events and mistakes that have led us to a new form of "enhuement" (to add colour and elaboration to any black and white subject matter...metaphorical post enlightenment). The anecdotal discourse portrays Mother Earth watching over her planet while a credit crunched banker hangs in the balance. Other symbols have been added for the continuity of narrative, addressing such issues as environment, humanity and regeneration.

Can we learn by our mistakes and bring order out of chaos, or do we stay divied, ignore our past and close our minds to the current affairs that we face? We may not have one tongue yet, but can we, via this pictorial currency, have one foot in the door towards a universal language...?
