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 durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
