We all live in material world and so many people are obsessed with monetary issues, obsessed by money… The Greed, one of the Seventh Deadly Sins. Everyone has the greed, but some have it just as very small, while others can’t be seen on back of their greed.

Someone’s perception of surrounding world is tightly connected to the greed. I met so many greedy and snobbish people … how often I confused them saying: “Don’t be proud of your money because it will never satisfy you…” Although this piece has the concrete prototype it be considered as the combined portrait of all of them.
