The project stems from a reflection on the value of work, time, and effort dedicated to constructing images as complex and full of meaning as those found on banknotes. The meticulous process of redrawing segments of these designs line by line seeks to extract their details, expressions, and symbols from the context of money, highlighting the memories and anecdotes they evoke. In this process, the repetition of lines gradually imbues the work with a new value.
