Editor's Brief: Greed winners
Our festive Editor’s Brief was all about wanting more than you need: greed. As always, it attracted all sorts of work – but unfortunately, out of the 64 entries we could only choose three winners. Let’s find out who’ll be counting the $$$ in their milk bath…
1st Gula by Maru Rojas
We loved Maru’s sketch. To accompany her piece, she muses, “Greed as gluttony. With this drawing, I am portraying the most innate of human needs as excessive greed. What we consume, what we are.”
2nd Money vs People by Adela Nistora
This photo, taken in Marseille, came a close second place. Adela ponders, “Our economy runs on greed. People are addicted to spending money, we try and get more and more. It is easy to spend your working life sinking into debt. Next thing you'll know is that you have lost your home. The homeless beggar becomes socially invisible; the poor are treated as if they are not there. People are trapped in the system. This is the era of greed.”
3rd I Want I Get by Louise Norman
This diagram speaks for itself. Louise ruminates: “We never seem to be satisfied, as soon as a want progresses into a get we want something else and the cycle continues over and over again. How can we break this endless cycle of greed usually over things that we don't need?”
