Fiscal Cliff
정부의 재정 지출이 갑자기 줄거나 중단되어서 실물 경제에 타격을 주는 현상을 일컫는 말인 재정절벽(Fiscal Cliff)이 발생하여 우리에게 미치는 영향을 재미있는 여러 가지 기호와 캐릭터로 은유하여 표현한 작업입니다.

Natural phenomenons are a well used tool to illustrate and explain financial circumstances. The economy could face tsunamis and earthquakes, it could end up in deep valleys and reach high peaks, and it could be standing in front of the fiscal cliff. The fiscal cliff illustrates an abrupt and uncontrolled economic collapse, and the imagery of state leaders falling down cliffs is one of satire drawings’ best known archetypes. The metaphor is strengthened by the cliff’s many cultural appearances, and it has become a cultural icon itself due to films as Thelma & Louise, Looney Tunes and the Youtube fossil Tha Cliff from 2006.
In the publication Fiscal Cliff, the topographic metaphor is used as a starting point for a visual game with symbols and characters that somehow has to deal with the fiscal fall. There might be multiple reasons why the fiscal cliff occurs, but once it's here it will affect us all.
