2140 Westminster places an engraved portrait of Queen Elizabeth II before a solar-powered city of towers, domes and cultivated green space. Orange beams project from her eyes across the landscape, giving the familiar currency figure an exaggerated, futuristic authority.
A flying saucer lifts a cow from a field beside wind turbines and solar panels, adding comic absurdity to the utopian setting. Bitcoin and Ethereum emblems, sacred geometry, an all-seeing eye, the royal coat of arms and oversized “£21.40” values crowd the note with competing systems of symbolism.
The number 2140 points to Bitcoin’s distant final issuance while the royal portrait represents inherited financial power. By making monarchy, cryptocurrency, clean technology and science-fiction spectacle coexist on one banknote, the work imagines the future as a collision of old institutions and newly invented forms of value.
