In an abstract, model-like manner, all of the following images were created using 3D printing technology, then composed and photographed artistically. The layers of the 3D prints are clearly visible in all four panels. The first motif in the series depicts a group of 13 men sitting around a table covered with gold bars. In front of the table are several stacks of gold bars piled on top of each other. A logogram with the dollar sign towers over the entire front of the table, placed centrally. Behind the group of men is a large, open safe. Blurred in the background is an obelisk, another symbol of power. The group of men is surrounded by many marble-like female sculptures. The arrangement of the men is reminiscent of the composition in which Jesus gathered with his disciples around a table for the Last Supper. Above it all, against a black sky, is the word FAITH, formed from many small fly bodies.
The second panel depicts a war scene. A group of people marches from the right rear to the front left of the picture—toward the viewer. The figures are severely deformed due to being printed with a 3D printer. The artist has used the apparent production flaws in the figures as a design element. In the foreground, five corpses lie on the ground in body bags. Many aerial bombs are being dropped above the group. In the background, blurred images of bombed-out ruins can be seen. Analogous to the arrangement, size, and golden color of the dollar sign in the first motif, this image features a coat-of-arms-like emblem depicting two intersecting aerial bombs. Above it all, against a black sky, the word CULTURE is written in many small fly bodies.
The third image depicts a scene in court. A group of seven judges in their robes stand behind Justitia, the goddess of justice, with her sword and scales, who is passing judgment on a man kneeling and bowing before her on the floor. Justitia is ugly. On the right side of the image is a prison cage with two guards standing in front of it. In the foreground, spectators are seated in rows on benches. On the left side, lawyers are seated at their desks. The golden symbol in the foreground of this image is a three-dimensional infinity loop that resembles a face mask. Above it all, again against a black sky, is the word VALUES, formed from many small fly bodies.
The last motif in the series of images is captioned with the word SUCCESS, again formed from flies. On a raised walkway formed from many steles on a gloomy-looking building, a condemned man stands with his head bowed above a black hole. He is guarded by two soldiers with rifles on his left and right. On the ground floor are several dark prison cages, guarded by additional soldiers. The logo in the foreground shows an upside-down golden pentagram.

The image section shows approximately the details at the original output size of the artwork. The gradations of the photographed 3D model are shown using the example of several female statues. The disturbances in the figures are intentional and appear destructive and dystopian.

As in the previous image excerpt, the macro details of the 3D print are clearly visible here. The abstract figures of war victims depicted are severely deformed and distorted. The dark figures stand in front of the light-colored facades of bombed-out houses, which are hinted at in the background.
Image detail from the composition “CULTURE. In Land We Trust.”
A prison cage, two guards, and two court witnesses stand against a black background. The detail shows the details of the 3D print output.
Image detail from the composition “VALUES. In Power We Trust.”
Two guards stand to the left and right of the condemned man, who is standing above the black hole in the scene. The material surfaces of the soldiers and the prisoner are clearly visible.
