Face Value is a collection by Mystiic Khalifa created on real currency — where money is no longer just a tool, but a surface for expression.
Each piece begins with something the world already agrees has value.
Then it gets altered. Painted over. Disrupted.
Faces change. Meanings shift. Systems get questioned.
What once represented control, power, and structure becomes something raw, emotional, and human.
This collection challenges the idea of worth — not just in money, but in people.
We live in a world that assigns value instantly.
Based on appearance. Status. Numbers.
Face Value asks a simple question:
What is something actually worth… once you look past the surface?
