By forging connections between artisans, AI and technology, logistics, and consumers, the economy of ideas can flourish, fostering the evolution of the intrinsic 'value' of human life. The generated profits should be channeled back into research and the enhancement of efficiency, not only elevating individuals out of poverty but also enabling them to actively participate in the global network of creative minds. This, in turn, can lead to a reduction in the cost of living and the hours spent working, ultimately allowing for a more enriched and fulfilling life experience.

This transformation aims to expand the notion of capitalism, broadening the scope of the market and encouraging a more extensive implementation of stock-based fiscal strategies. Housing, once a financial burden, should become affordable and adjustable according to one's income, paving the way for the discussion of 'housing as a human right'—ensuring that adequate housing is available for all. The earnings generated should not solely serve the purpose of debt repayment and bank profits but should be reinvested in the growth of innovative ideas and solutions.

The exhibit showcases a Victorian dining room adorned with opulent features like a chandelier, a grand dining table set with fine dinnerware, a luxurious chaise lounge, antique furniture, elegant silverware, custom-made upholstered chairs, tapestries, and artwork. What makes this display unique is that each item has been ingeniously crafted from discarded materials—objects that were once considered "unusable" but have been transformed into artisanal masterpieces through meticulous craftsmanship.

This installation serves as more than just a visual spectacle; it functions as a showroom where every piece is available for purchase, emphasizing the theme of elevating one's social status through the exploitation of artisanal labor. The deliberate choice of repurposing discarded materials not only creates stunning artworks but also sheds light on the psychological and political dimensions of "The Discarded" in our society.

By using materials that are typically overlooked, this exhibit highlights the importance of inclusivity for marginalized communities. It challenges the prevailing notion of disposable, single-use items, especially in the context of their long-lasting environmental impact. This concept draws parallels between society's tendency to undervalue both the longevity of non-biodegradable materials like plastic and the worth of a human life. It serves as a thought-provoking commentary on the consequences of disregarding the significance of human contributions and their lasting impact on our world.
