This is a work by Chechen artist Zaur Tzugaev made for Garage Museum open call "Assuming Distance: Speculations, Fakes, and Predictions in the Age of the Coronacene".

How is this work connected to imaginary/speculated future? What it it telling about the future of finances and the family? Is it insisting that the financial stability in postcovid times would be based on the family support? Is this portrait of a mother actually a family portrait? How is it connected to memory? How the division of mother portrait among bank cards of her children speaks about the family relations? How and why is mother connected to money? How this work can be connected with Barthes' Camera Lucida? Is this work implying economical/capitalistic relationships which grew into family relationships? Can this work be considered through the prism of emotional capitalism (Illouz, 2007)?

This work is connected to questions of the future, how economic affects family and how traditional family exists in the new economy.
