My illustration is an ironic vision of the future of music. Musical instruments will become electronic instruments for playing music. And musicians will be more like computer scientists.

Four of Clubs symbolise the foundation of Knowledge - the knowledge to be shared to educate and grow. Fours must be in command of every situation that arises. They are dealing with practical applications of knowledge, and they the power to glorify it. What awaits us in the future? As this year’s pandemic teaches us, it’s impossible for humans to predict what is going to happen, and the effects of our actions. Between pandemic, environment and economical crisis, and the huge battles for race and gender equality, 2020 may be seen as a turning point for mankind. And what about the future? We imagined that mankind - finally aware of its past - will reach a superior level of universal knowledge, and with that will be finally able to master the universe, and through a total understanding of life, love, nature and equality, bring balance to the world.

Teleporting my imagination 100 years from now, I can see a fully developed society based on futuristic technologies. People are using more and more augmentations to stay updated and the crave for VR is tearing apart real society. Being dominated and governed by tech savy companies, the world as we know it today will not be the same, a new world will emerge.

In 100 years the wind energy will be normal as the electric light. It has become a key electricity generation resource for the transformation of the energetic model, cleaner and more sustainable.

In the distant future, sea level may have risen so high that even New York’s famous Statue of Liberty’s head is barely above water.

As a huge fan of cyberpunk I wanted to express my current view of what's happening with the lockdown & traveling it to the future using biological engineered heart glowing underneath, creating a letter V that forms an X with the puddle's reflection which means 10 in roman numerals. As I see that it will be more challenging stuff in the future but the key is to support each other and seeking knowledge to be ahead of problems themselves.

Given that I got a Queen I thought I'd reflect on what the ruling elite might look like in a distant (admittedly rather bleak) future. I've imagined them linked up to levitating life support chairs, permanently plugged into a VR feed in which they exist in some kind of exclusive reality, while also using it to follow major events and communicate with their subordinates. I wanted to work with the shape of the spade and have it reflect in my design as much as possible.

It is 2020 and we are at a crossroads. The decisions we now make as individuals and as societies will define the world a hundred years later. It will not be easy to make good and wise decisions to save our world. Perhaps the future lies in a simpler and poorer life, but in harmony with life-giving nature. Or maybe the future will lead us to the brink of extinction and nature will live only in our memories.
