Vancouver has a reputation for being an outdoor playground given its enviable setting nestled between mountain and sea. But the city has become a playground of a different sort, a resort town for the uber-rich to visit their vacation homes and a speculative roulette wheel for those of more modest means to cement their place in the social order. The housing affordability crisis is now an inescapable part of Vancouver's identity. I want to visually depict the city as how we as a society see them, not as homes but as investments and stores of wealth. This is a city not of industry, not of culture, but of money.
