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.

I envisioned a future where gender is now irrelevant. Colors usually associated with 'typical' gender roles are used on the two front characters, while the third one is a mix of the two. The three characters also share the same genderless look and attributes. I wanted their composition to evoke the shape of a club.

In the future trips to other dimensions will become a reality, this illustration tells a love story about two people who belong to parallel universes: one where technology grew to the point that almost led to the destruction of humanity and another dimension where Technology did not grow as much, but the level of human consciousness did. It is in our hands to decide which of the realities we want for the future.

Historically, the seven of diamonds is a neutral card and associated with negotiation. When thinking about the future, my mind went straight to our relationship with the digital and how I fear we will eventually have to make a deal with ourselves, to stop the digital from taking over. Times like the ones we are currently living through show us the incredible power of technology, but with the rise of voice activation and self serving tech, we are at risk of being seduced and losing the human touch.

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.

Time travel has given the human race an opportunity to journey deeper into space than ever. The discovery on new planets has revealed many viable options for colonisation.

For an instant, close your eyes, imagine that you are traveling to a future where life takes place in Cosmos. Everything is liquid, everything is changeable. You can be who you want to be and love (or not) whomever you want to. A place where there are no differences of any kind. There are no classifications of any kind. And there you are: feeling at peace with yourself because you no longer have to pretend anything that you are not: we are all the same, we are floating particles in space...

I imagine a future where countries will need to come together in order to continue existing. The Covid-19 pandemic showed us that we are more interconnected and dependent on each other than we ever imagined. A new world order will need to be created. Countries will still be independent, but there will be global rules focused on preserving the human race and the world itself. To regulate this, we would need someone endowed with both human wisdom and robotic efficiency. A perfect match. Someone who could have compassion and humanity while making decisions, but also be tireless, accurate and 100% connected with everything and everyone, just like a machine. Someone with a human face to cause greater empathy, with an also human brain connected to the best computers in the world, maximizing its capacity, in addition to being filled with life provided by nature. A supreme being. A King of the Future.
