Custom $2 Bills
The two-dollar bill is strange. It’s somewhat forgotten but still special. It’s rare, but real. Mathazars transforms this everyday currency into striking, personal works of custom art.
The work selectively utilizes the two-dollar bill as a canvas because of its unique status, yet it's an entirely authentic artifact of American culture. By reimagining ordinary money, Mathazars challenges viewers and forces a moment of pause to look closer at something usually taken for granted. Each one becomes its own story, humorous, sometimes emotional, and always unexpected.
