This abstract generative 3D animation portrays, figuratively and metaphorically, the impermanence of wealth and economic value. The displayed cloud of gold nuggets is being thrown into disarray, cycle after cycle. A continuous, periodically reoccuring vortex moves and displaces each nugget into forming a larger storm of liquid gold.

This piece symbolizes the rise and fall of societal wealth, generation after generation. What we all view as permanent, as reliable, is really not. Banks are failing, currencies devalued, political and societal structures reformed or overthrown.

In the end, there comes the acceptance that even what we believe as most stable is always fluid. Neo-capitalism is essentially conjuring an attention- and fear-driven market economy. A dynamic getting amplified even more by markets becoming global and trade becoming digitalized.

Interconnectedness in this sense means, that even a local economic crisis can become a global maelstrom.

The animation is part of GoldenPixelArt's "Fools Gold" project. See: https://gamma.io/ordinals/collections/ordinal-fools-gold
