A circular mound of mud embedded with shredded American currency and a single jelly bean sits atop a delicate lace doily, creating a striking contrast between the refined and the refuse. Benes constructs a layered commentary on consumer culture and the American Dream, mounting this assemblage onto an ink and paper collage that further grounds the work in the language of documents and exchange. The piece transforms the nostalgic symbolism of "American pie" into something simultaneously absurd and pointed, conflating wealth, waste, and sweetness into one loaded object.
