Plastic peril: Unveiling greed in LEGO form

Greed can be a divisive topic: what one person sees as greedy can be viewed as merely desire or the pursuit of success by another. In this model, TBB regular Andreas Lenander employs artistic expression, using the ubiquitous light bluish gray LEGO to depict a hand drained of its life essence. Contrasted with red and maroon bricks, it shows the negative result that can arise from gripping the pursuit of wealth too tightly. The builder skillfully incorporates sought-after LEGO parts to emphasize the object of greed: the pearl gold ingot and chrome gold ring, which most LEGO enthusiasts recognize as “The One Ring” from the Lord of the Rings theme. With all that gold, is this perhaps a retort to a treasure chest we covered recently?

Greed...

And we’ve got plenty more of Andreas Lenander’s LEGO creations in our archives.

    1. Let me know when LEGO produces a huge gold bar, I guess
    2. What do you mean, “two different kinds of blood”? Blood from the same body has a variety of different looks, ranging from dark to bright. I can direct you to an introductory biology class if you would like to know more.
