RIDDLE OF THE BITCOIN
This is a personal piece reflecting on the Bitcoin craze and the potential uncertainty for the global economy. The Sphinx in Greek culture was a trickster creature and a symbol of foreboding times. She appears in the play Oedipus Rex by Sophocles and devours those who fail to solve her riddles.
Here, she appears as a sort of party crasher, if you will, perched ominously on a giant Bitcoin that is being sacrificed in front of the NY Stock Exchange building, the modern American template for the worship of money. Photoshop, Blender (Bitcoin), Clip Studio Paint.
