A pair of pale hands grips an open red wallet against a stark black background, fingers splayed across the empty interior in a gesture of financial despair. The dramatic lighting isolates the subjects in high contrast, creating a raw and unflinching portrait of monetary loss or scarcity. Crafted from bamboo and made to order, with a drilled hole so it hangs on the wall as easily as it works on the counter. A kitchen essential carrying an independent artist’s work, not a blank block from the big-box aisle.
