This round pop-art painting depicts a mysterious creature with its mouth wide open, trying to capture money. As its tongue extends, it also catches an unsettling mix of useless trash and bacteria, symbolizing how the pursuit of material wealth often comes with undesirable consequences.
The bold color palette, contrasting shapes, and intricate details create an atmosphere of unease, prompting the viewer to reflect on the price we pay for our greed. The circular form of the artwork highlights the endless cycle of desires, where every aspiration consumes more than we realize. Chasing Fortune is a visual metaphor for how the chase for money can be not only dangerous but ultimately destructive.
