Part 1
Composition: A macro photo with one single light that reflects and contrast the shiny metal objects and which brings the viewer into the photograph.
Concept: Money is a symbol of Power, because it allows you to have endless resources of anything. However, without a society to give that power, it's nothing more than engraved metal. The lack of any other coins in the photo with distinguishable features is what draws the viewer into the original symbol of the eagle on the picture.
Method: I was playing with zoom and macro, looking for subjects and the idea of money came to mind.
Motivations: Coming from another country with different resources, money is a huge deal for me. It has limitated my resources in so many ways and I still don't understand how it works. This is me saying exactly that, it's the origin of my problems, and that of the world. In that sense, it reminds me of the Genesis tale of how mankind had that "original sin", that original thing that started all the problems. That's where the title comes from.
Context: For me, this is a symbolic representation. I think that there is a great power on symbols and the force they wield.
