"The Raise is my interpretation of the regular goings-on in the office life of the corporate elite. This piece is the largest of a 4 part series of billboards I built for my solo show "The Chosen One Percent" at Artgang in Montreal, Quebec, March 2016.
I became interested in advertising and propaganda in the beginning of my art career and I especially liked the billboard as a medium and started experimenting with it. I see the billboard as being outside of the control of the people, a symbol of power and manipulation. I decided I'd build my own as an attempt to take that power and put it behind my own messages." - Earth Crusher
