The rose that V leaves beside the fallen becomes, here, orange. A color associated with liberation and a flame of hope. The spark of an invention that questions the monopoly of our value. The flower rests upon a pile of government-issued money. Money stained with blood all over the planet. It is not a mere dramatic effect, it is an accusation. Fiat money (from the Latin fiat lux, let there be light) was and continues to be an instrument of control, a mechanism that seizes savings, commands obedience, and finances wars.

Fix the money, fix the world.
