This series of three delves into the intricate web of global finance, corruption, privacy, and outlaw piracy, centered around the theme of Monero, a decentralized privacy coin known for its emphasis on anonymity.

​

"Untitled (Monero No.1)" is an explores disparate finance themes. Vibrant clown faces represent Monero's cryptocurrency forks, set against a backdrop of references to financial institutions and governments, corruption, and the enigmatic modern day pirate figure, John McAfee (ANTI VIRUS ANTIVIRUS).

​

"Untitled (Monero No.2)" focuses more on themes related to evasion, privacy, and secrecy within the context of geo politics. Central to the image is the depiction of McAfee, portrayed hiding out in a jungle, referencing his real-life fleeing from authorities and his time spent in Belize.

​

Surrounding McAfee are elements that symbolize wealth and concealment—gold bars and money stashed among the lush greenery, pointing directly to the idea of Monero as a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, used often for its anonymity features. The Black Ops phrase "Don't Ask NOYFB" (None Of Your Fucking Business) reinforces this theme of secrecy and privacy, emphasizing a defiant attitude towards inquisition.

​

The background is filled with names of countries like Cuba, China, Iran, Nicaragua, and the UAE, all listed without extradition treaties with the United States, enhancing the narrative of escape and refuge. 

​

"Untitled (Monero No.3)" offers an eclectic mix of cultural references, combining iconic elements of Western pop culture with commentary on financial scandals and digital currency. In this piece, four versions of the Joker from different Hollywood films—Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Jared Leto, and Joaquin Phoenix—are depicted, each adding a unique flavor to the chaotic and party-like atmosphere. Their presence in this artwork could symbolize the chaotic, unpredictable, and often disruptive nature of the pirate-like characters they portray.

​

The setting of "Club ENRON," a nod to the infamous energy company known for its monumental financial scandal, injects a layer of irony and historical critique into the artwork. The use of ENRON's name in a party scene suggests a commentary on corporate culture run amok.
