The state of the world economy has been shaky since the global recession in 2008, leaving many people
jobless and many were even forced out of their homes due to mortgage woes. Consumerist as we are, the
economic crisis appears to be heightened when we find that we cannot afford the same luxuries that we
could when the inflow of money was smoother. To highlight the severity of personal economic meltdown
and just how depressing and overwhelming the current economic climate is, designer Sebastian Errazuriz
has created the Drowning in Debt Salt and Pepper Shaker Set~
The set features an office worker with his work briefcase inside the shaker itself, commenting on the
direness of the current global economic climate and how badly it affects the lives of the workers
working at the grassroots levels in multinational companies. As the salt and pepper is consumed,
the workers emerge from the salt or pepper that symbolize debt or unemployment only to be
flooded by it once again when the shakers are refilled.
