Painted directly over Washington’s portrait, Chappell Roan appears in full camp-pop regalia—cotton-candy hair horns, smeared blue eye makeup, ruffled collar. The crisp geometry of the banknote collides with Salvo’s expressive brushwork and riot of color, transforming everyday currency into a portrait of performance, queerness, and self-invention.
