Greed is a twenty first century, larger-than-life winged gargoyle, perched on top of the earth and lording over humanity. Greed depicts the ageless crisis of individuals, institutions, and countries striving for power and control at the expense of humanity and our environment. As the viewer stands in front of this frightening monster, we are faced with multiple mirrors on its chest that reflect, in part, both the problem and the solution to the crisis—us. Our goal is to generate anger at what is happening in our world today, such as oppression, exploitation, predatory violence, institutional greediness, and environmental degradation. Next, to spark introspection and self-reflection about how we contribute to the problem through insatiable consumerism.
