"Another part of my drawings focuses on the US Dollar, it is the currency we mainly have in circulation and it passes through many hands and in most cases doesn’t end up in banks but continues to be in circulation until it’s fragile and torn. This has created the business of buying and selling torn USD notes to the extent of having signs/ signage advertising this business all over the city and marketplaces. I have recreated the Dollar note in its fragile state."
