To incorporate all these themes into a single piece of artwork, I tried to come up with an image that represents companies and institutions during a time of crisis. I also wanted it to emphasize how the decisions being made during these times may not be beneficial to the company or institution in the long term but rather lead to their own self-destruction.

The image that I came up with was simple. I grew a skyscraper reaching high into the clouds. At the top of the skyscraper, workers are constructing more floors, materials are being brought up to aid in construction, and cleaning crews are working to make the top of the building look perfect. However, the lower levels show the truth. The building is being held together by old plywood. Windows are cracked and large chunks of the wall are exposed. It also appears as though a wrecking ball is coming in to cause more damage. Despite this, the construction crew keeps building, and the cleaners keep cleaning. The situation is a metaphor for how resources are being provided for things that may help the company in the short run, but will ultimately create further chaos in the future.
