Easy Money

The painting is called Easy Money. This collage is based on magical realism. Magical realism is when one adds magical elements, but portrays them as part of everyday life. Likewise, in this collage the displayed tree is a money tree, which grows money instead of leaves. Since there is no tree which grows money, this demonstrates magical realism. A boy, who is sleeping in the tree hole, reflects that if there is a tree which grows money, everyone will become lazy. This collage gives a moral:" Work hard to earn money, and don't depend on others for anything."
