Piggy Bank on the Wall, 2014

Instead of Ryman's aluminium plate and metal bolts, I used a clean white wall and 4 1TL coins. The sunlight comes through the window, that explains why left side is brighter. I used double-sided tape to stick coins to the wall, however they fell down just a few minutes later. This event shows us that art is actually nonpermanent, it stays only  for a short time artists must catch this.
