Wealth

Original Oil Painting by 3rd Version (2025)

The Story

Wealth is a philosophical inquiry into the nature of value. Using a Pachira aquatica—commonly known as a "money tree"—as its central figure, the piece asks: What is true wealth? Is it something tangible, is it natural, or is the inherent process of growth the real commodity?

Set within an 8-inch hexagonal panel, this piece continues the "Framed In" series. The intricate, hand-painted faux-wood grain frame acts as a visual metaphor for the societal structures and mental constructs we build around the idea of prosperity. It highlights how our perceptions of "success" are often framed by external expectations rather than natural development.
