‘If I was 400 times richer I would put my money towards trying to save the world and making it more eco friendly. I would also reduce the use of plastics and make racism illegal. That would make me feel happy because I would know that I am making the world a better place and saving lives.’

Notes
This original piece was created by Heath Kane, with contributing words by Sofia Clarke.
Richer Than is a visual conversation in response to the rising rates of homelessness and poverty in the UK. The collection is an extension of Heath Kane's bestselling series Rich Enough to be Batman. Bold and subversive, the collection provokes questions about wealth and social contribution The Queen is used throughout the collection as a symbol of wealth, and is juxtaposed with the cowl of Batman. The cowl represents Batman’s role in doing good: he wasn’t superhuman, but instead his superpower was to use his wealth to give back to society.
"I hope the Richer Than exhibition raises questions about the current wealth divide. I want to encourage conversations about wealth and social justice through the idea that with enough money anyone can be a superhero.” Heath Kane.
