About the Artwork:
Scrooge McDuck has finally stepped out of the vault and into the wild.
Perched on his money bags, he isn’t counting coins this time. Instead, he holds a single fynbos flower, surrounded by blooming fields and majestic mountains. Suddenly, the world’s richest duck looks a little richer in spirit.
The Purest Luxury Is Nature turns the familiar idea of luxury on its head. Gold may glitter, but it cannot compete with a mountain sunrise, untouched wilderness or the quiet beauty of a flower growing freely in the landscape. With humor and irony, the work questions our obsession with material wealth while pointing toward another kind of abundance: one that cannot be bought, accumulated or locked inside a vault.
Story Behind the Artwork
“The idea emerged from my own experience of spending more and more of my life surrounded by nature in South Africa. Away from the noise and the constant pursuit of more, I began to question what luxury actually means to me.
Peace. Space. Clean air. Mountains. Wild landscapes. And the kind of silence that gives you room to think.
Scrooge became the perfect character for this realization. A figure defined by his relationship with money suddenly pauses in the landscape and holds something financially worthless, yet infinitely valuable: a wild flower.
If even Scrooge can stop to appreciate the fynbos, perhaps we all can.”
Bright, bold and deliberately playful, The Purest Luxury Is Nature marks a meeting point between two recurring worlds in Kossi’s practice: the Pop Art language of money, success and cultural icons, and her growing connection to wilderness, conservation and freedom.
Ultimately, the work proposes a different definition of wealth: one measured not by what we own, but by what we are free to experience.

My work explores freedom in its many forms through pop culture, ambition, nature and the choices that shape the way we live. In my Pop Art, familiar characters and cultural symbols become a language for exploring success, money, love, independence and the contradictions of contemporary life. Icons such as Scrooge McDuck, Mr. Monopoly, Bugs Bunny and Homer Simpson are removed from their familiar narratives and placed into new ones sometimes humorous, sometimes provocative, but always reflecting something about the world we live in and what we choose to value. Alongside this, my abstract work has evolved through a closer connection to nature. Living and working between wild landscapes in South Africa has shifted my perspective from the symbols of success toward something more elemental — land, time, movement, solitude and the freedom that comes from living closer to nature. What connects these seemingly different bodies of work is a continuing search for freedom. Freedom to succeed. Freedom to question. Freedom to change. And ultimately, freedom to live life on your own terms. I believe art can shift perspective. For me, creativity is not only a way of making images, but a way of understanding life — and continually redefining what truly matters.
