Capital Currents examines the choreography of monetary exchange in urban spaces, revealing how capital flows shape human interaction and social dynamics. The work observes these mundane yet charged moments where economic and social forces intersect, transforming ordinary exchanges into sites of complex meaning.
Through attention to the gestural language of financial transactions, the series illuminates how capital mediates human connection in public space. These encounters become a lens for understanding broader patterns of power, trust, and social value. The work considers how economic systems manifest in physical form, where the exchange of currency creates momentary bridges between self and other, need and fulfillment, power and submission.
Beyond documenting transactions, Capital Currents explores money’s role as both medium and metaphor in modern life. The series reveals how these everyday exchanges mirror larger systems of value and control, where human worth becomes quantified through financial metrics. Through this examination of capital’s choreography, the work invites reflection on how economic forces shape the boundaries between connection and commodity, intimacy and transaction, in an increasingly monetized world.
