me against the world
2004

A high-resolution scan of a large number of stacked coins creating a textured pattern. The coins are arranged in rows that cover the entire image, with the edges of the coins creating a repetitive circular pattern. The image is monochromatic, with the coins appearing in shades of gray against a white background.
