Claire Salvo, Cardi, 2025

2.5 x 6.25 in
6.35 x 15.87 cm

Claire Salvo’s Cardi turns the one-dollar bill into a glittering, high-glam portrait of power. Painted directly onto the note, Cardi B appears in an icy wig and chrome nails, caught mid–"shhh" gesture as if letting you in on a secret. The cool metallic highlights and soft skin tones clash beautifully with the rigid green engraving of the bill, transforming everyday currency into a celebration of celebrity, confidence, and the women who rewrite the rules of value on their own terms.
