Can profit spread without infecting us?
A glass Petri dish filled with agar rests on a stainless steel lab bench, where tiny shiny coins multiply like growing bacterial colonies.
What you see
A glass Petri dish rests on a stainless steel laboratory bench under cool clinical lighting. Inside the dish, nutrient agar supports dense clusters of miniature silver and copper coins that spread outward like cultured microbial colonies. Laboratory glassware containing blue liquid and a precision pipette stand out of focus in the sterile background.
The photograph fuses a laboratory Petri dish with metallic currency. Rather than biological pathogens, money itself replicates across the gel substrate, mimicking the aggressive expansion of infectious bacteria.
The sterile precision of medical diagnostics collides directly with invasive financial greed. By framing capital accumulation as a biological outbreak, the image exposes monetary wealth as a contagious contagion that spreads uncontrollably within modern society.
Can I use this?
Yes, for anything, free of charge. In return we'd be grateful for a little publicity: a post or a link, or at least telling a friend about XERATION.
