The artwork, “Things from the Flood,” was created by Simon Stalenhag in 2016. It belongs to the art movement of Digital Art and is classified within the genre of illustration. The piece is part of the series “Things from the Flood.”
The artwork depicts a desolate, snowy landscape featuring two large, abandoned mechanical structures buried partially in snow. The foreground is dominated by a winding, snow-covered road that leads the viewer’s eye into the scene, emphasizing the sense of abandonment and cold isolation. In the background, a group of birds is seen flying, further underscoring the stark contrast between the stillness of the scene and the hint of life in the distance. The mechanical structures appear worn and weathered, evoking a sense of the past’s presence amidst the cold, contemporary surroundings.
