SKULL BALLOON H012 The Poor

The Poor represents scarcity, hardship, and a life defined by having almost nothing. A weathered and damaged human skull rests inside a thin, fragile balloon. Inside are only a few worn banknotes, ordinary coins, an old key, and crumpled paper. The surrounding environment is modest and worn, reinforcing the absence of wealth without overwhelming the central subject. Unlike The Rich, where abundance surrounds the skull, The Poor is defined by absence almost nothing to possess, almost nothing to display. Yet the same human skull remains at the center. Same Head. Different Stories.
