English: The Cure for Greed Is a project of artist Diddo.

The artist statement featured on his website states: "Whatever we feel about greed, we can agree on one thing: it exists. Whether there’s too much of it in the world, or too little, is a matter of opinion, not understanding. On one side of the debate, some believe it’s the root of all that is corrupt and evil. Conversely, greed is seen and often celebrated as the key behaviour that allowed our species to adapt and evolve so successfully.

But what exactly is greed? Is it an immutable algorithm hardwired in our DNA, a survival instinct that triggers responses to a constantly changing environment that can turn hostile at any moment? Maybe greed is an emotional reaction to our cultural reward system? Or the embodiment of the darkest side of our natures, rooted in fear? When you get down to it, you realize how little we really know about greed.

‘The Cure For Greed’ is an object that sparks internal and social dialogue on many aspects of greed, the benefits as well as dangers of this basic and pervasive human behavior. It’s an invitation to reexamine our assumptions and inject them with the type of energy that spark new and evolving perspectives. Our hope is to learn from this process, and grow, to become more human, not by repressing our nature, but by transcending it with understanding and compassion."
