   In the exhibition are shown in total seven pictures of fireplaces engraved on black velvet. Embodying the idyllic facades of family situations concealing darker scenes.

   For instance, the pictures were selected from living room situations in which real crimes happened within a family situation.

   "At the World Economic Forum meeting last November, Klaus Schwab, the founder, and chairman of the WEF, Henry Kissinger, heads of state, and other billionaire power brokers determined that by 2030, the little people “will own nothing and be happy." — from the Rich Dad Radio Show

   This work stands for the paranoïa of never owning a piece of land, as the state, through stringent financial measures, makes it nearly impossible for working-class people to purchase and possess property.

   A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE CAN GO A LONG WAY
   A LOT OF PROFESSIONALS ARE CRACKPOTS
   A MAN CAN'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A MOTHER
   A RELAXED MAN IS NOT NECESSARILY A BETTER MAN
   A SENSE OF TIMING IS THE MARK OF GENIUS
   A SINGLE EVENT CAN HAVE INFINITELY MANY INTERPRETATIONS
   A STRONG SENSE OF DUTY IMPRISONS YOU
   ABSOLUTE SUBMISSION CAN BE A FORM OF FREEDOM
   ABUSE OF POWER COMES AS NO SURPRISE
   ACTION CAUSES MORE TROUBLE THAN THOUGHT
   ALIENATION PRODUCES ECCENTRICS OR REVOLUTIONARIES
   ALL THINGS ARE DELICATELY INTERCONNECTED
   AMBIVALENCE CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE
   AN ELITE IS INEVITABLE
   ANY SURPLUS IS IMMORAL
   AT TIMES INACTIVITY IS PREFERABLE TO MINDLESS FUNCTIONING AWFUL PUNISHMENT AWAITS REALLY BAD PEOPLE
   BAD INTENTIONS CAN YIELD GOOD RESULTS
   BEING HAPPY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE
   BOREDOM MAKES YOU DO CRAZY THINGS
   CALM IS MORE CONDUCIVE TO CREATIVITY THAN IS ANXIETY
   CATEGORIZING FEAR IS CALMING
   CHANGE IS VALUABLE WHEN THE OPPRESSED BECOME TYRANTS
   CHILDREN ARE THE MOST CRUEL OF ALL CHILDREN ARE THE HOPE OF THE FUTURE CLASS ACTION IS A NICE IDEA WITH NO SUBSTANCE
   LASS STRUCTURE IS AS ARTIFICIAL AS PLASTIC
   DECADENCE CAN BE AN END IN ITSELF
   DECENCY IS A RELATIVE THING DEPENDENCE CAN BE A MEAL TICKET
   DESCRIPTION IS MORE VALUABLE THAN METAPHOR
   DEVIANTS ARE SACRIFICED TO INCREASE GROUP SOLIDARITY DISGUST IS THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO MOST SITUATIONS
   DREAMING WHILE AWAKE IS A FRIGHTENING CONTRADICTION
   EATING TOO MUCH IS CRIMINAL
   EVEN YOUR FAMILY CAN BETRAY YOU
   EXPIRING FOR LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL BUT STUPID
   FAKE OR REAL INDIFFERENCE IS A POWERFUL PERSONAL WEAPON
   FATHERS OFTEN USE TOO MUCH FORCE
   FREEDOM IS A LUXURY NOT A NECESSITY HIDING YOUR MOTIVES IS DESPICABLE
   HUMANISM IS OBSOLETE HUMOR IS A RELEASE
   IDEALS ARE REPLACED BY CONVENTIONAL GOALS AT A CERTAIN AGE
   IF YOU AREN'T POLITICAL YOUR PERSONAL LIFE SHOULD BE EXEMPLARYIN SOME INSTANCES IT'S BETTER TO DIE THAN TO CONTINUE
   IT IS MAN'S FATE TO OUTSMART HIMSELF
   IT'S A GIFT TO THE WORLD NOT TO HAVE BABIES
   KILLING IS UNAVOIDABLE BUT IS NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF KNOWLEDGE SHOULD BE ADVANCED AT ALL COST
