Mikael Colombu’s irreverent Old Money project reimagines devalued currency as both an art form and a cautionary symbol of economic negligence. Colombu explores the history embedded within each piece of currency. Dollar bills—marked with stains, doodles, and tears—are transformed into a canvas that reflects the journey of money through time and human hands. They are not just artifacts of financial transactions but relics that tell stories of defiance, neglect, and the wear of time. Each piece in the Old Money collection invites viewers to consider the social and cultural narratives tied to our relationship with money.
