Portfolio > PAINTINGS 1 - Economic Inequality

Recalling a black-on-grey Rothko painting (though necessarily done with more precisely demarcated proportions) as well as the “Got Milk?” ad campaign, “Got Retirement?” contrasts a milky white paint section on the bottom against a dull matte black section on the top of the painting. The milky white 54.7% of the painting represents the percentage of all working-age households that own a retirement account. Looming above in black is the 45.3% of working-age households that have no retirement account assets.
