Money, it's a crime
share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
money, so they say
is the root of all evil today
15th Apr, the TAX deadline in US, remainds me of horror story from 2001-2002 for many of us.
This picture is dedicated to the ones affected.
Here are some guidelines in interpreting this photo:
This picture represents my impression of the "2001-2002 Financial Bubble at Wall street".
The dark surface on which the bubble and my dollar sits represent the "dark side of the moon". The $ represents "money": MY MONEY! which I had invested in Wall Street. The golden color means that although its just a dollar, its GOLD (precious) to me.
The soap bubble represents the layer of protection which the government laws on Wall street assured me would be enough to safeguard it from the "greed" of the other people. The fragility of the soap bubble represents a kind of minimal confidence, which can be broken or can be cracked open any time and by any one if they want to, leaving my money open for stealing... And someone did! Remember Enron?
The soap bubble, sooner or later would burst as its not strong enough and the people who had money invested would loose all of it or most of it. And thats's what happend in 2001-2002. I lost my job, got laid off, was out of work for almost a year. So I KNOW how "dark" side of human can hurt lives. And what pink floyd's "Money" in wrong context might lead one to dream. People who steal turn a deaf ear to Pink Floyd. They don't see the real meaning.
The tiny bubbles in the photo represent other peoples' investments and their dreams which might grow and bust too. They are lot smaller, as they are insignificant to me as conmpared to my dream (shown as big bubble) The white speckles on the "dark side of the moon" represents someone elses bubble burst open and money stolen and what is left of it.
There are lots of ways pink floyd can be interpretted, but this is my way of doing it. Altough money is the first thing which comes to mind, I think there are more than one line I am trying to capture here. I see it as representing several things from the album: In between morality and immorality... Peace. -Cat
