PROFIT // PROPHET: two New Yorkers who both call the crash, and only one gets a bonus. Every picture in here is a pair like that, painted by MLow, and every room turns one word into the other a different way: where you stand, what you click, the light, the clock, a whisper, a train. The New York accent has its own room, because TAWK and TOCK are the same word on 42nd Street.
