A partial zoom of Chris Jordan's work 'Ben Franklin 2007', which depicts 125,000 US hundred dollar bills ($US12.5 million), the amount the US government spends every hour on the war in Iraq.
The piece is part of an exhibition called 'Running the Numbers', which illustrates the scale of US consumption in various industries. The artist says, "My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books".
