Speculation

"Speculation"

by Alfie Borg

50cm  X 50cm Signed & Numbered 
Limited Edition Print on art quality poster paper.

This vibrant pop art piece 
reimagines Leonardo DiCaprio’s
character from 
“The Wolf of Wall Street,” 
juxtaposing the high-stakes 
world of finance,stocks & shares,
with the serenity of meditation. 
With million dollar notes stuck
behind him he is seated in a 
meditative pose, he throws 
various-sized dice, symbolizing
the capricious nature of risk, 
emphasized by the bold word 
“speculation” between both 
his hands. 
Above him, a blue question mark 
made of dice adds an element 
of intrigue, inviting viewers 
to ponder the uncertainties 
of investment. 
The two bewildered women in the
background enhance the scene’s 
absurdity, while the colourful
dice framing the artwork creates
a playful yet chaotic aesthetic, 
making it a captivating 
commentary on speculation, 
risk and excess.
