În Roman ancient times, emperors had their image imprinted on the money. It was a smart way of promoting themselves while adding value to the currency in the same time. It is then when the value of the coin stoped being contained by the real substance of the precious metal but by he value of the image controlled by the people creating the money.
Value is not abstract. It is the result of time built within dimensions, resistance and intertwining with the opposing firces, information gathered, support and relevance to a system that continues to build upon it. It is that simple. We have belittled everything of real value to our own image and what do we see in our reflection now? Scary, right?
