Greed is my second work in a series about 7 deadly sins.

Money, gold, toad, golden apples - all these are historically established symbols of greed. I interpreted them in such a way as to show the futility of hoarding. For the composition, I used money that went out of circulation, but did not acquire collector's value.
Both bills and coins from different countries - Greed has no nationality.

Gold jewelry that has lost relevance, which people keep out of habit.

The golden apple has shriveled from time and rotted inside. Greed looks at him and seems to begin to understand something.
