“Things from the Flood,” created by Simon Stalenhag in 2016, is a digital artwork belonging to the illustration genre and part of the “Things from the Flood” series. The artwork presents a bleak, wintry landscape with a snow-covered, winding road leading into the distance. On either side of the road, large, seemingly abandoned machines resembling downed helicopters or futuristic vehicles lie partially buried in snow. Their worn, dilapidated states suggest a past era of advanced technology long forgotten. Birds are seen flying over the scene, contributing to the desolate atmosphere. The use of muted colors and meticulous detail captures a haunting, post-apocalyptic world teetering between reality and the speculative.
