"𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒" (ongoing)


2024~
— illustrations

This is a personal ongoing project hoping to explore the aesthetics and language of power embedded in the finance/corporate world. Fascinated by the absurd confidence and impunity found in elite industries, I hope to deconstruct that power through its own symbols - corporate interfaces, jargon, pitch decks, dashboards, infographics. Stripped of their original utility and reframed through a post-ironic, internet-native lens, these materials become decorative, useless, desperate, and surreal.

An attempt to blend anime subculture, “core” aesthetics, and corporate visual language to render institutional authority fragile, hollow, and strangely beautiful. Putting aesthetic power back in people’s hands.
