The artwork titled “Things from the Flood,” created by Simon Stalenhag in 2016, belongs to the digital art movement and falls under the genre of illustration. This piece is part of the series “Things from the Flood.”
The artwork depicts a desolate, wintry landscape characterized by a snow-covered road leading off into the distance. On either side of the road, large, dilapidated machineries, resembling abandoned robots or drones, lay partially buried in the snow. The structures are semi-submerged in the ground, with visible wear and damage, suggesting a past calamity or abandonment. The muted color palette, dominated by shades of white, gray, and blue, enhances the bleak and eerie atmosphere. Sparse, withered vegetation starkly contrasts against the snow, and a few birds are seen flying in the gray sky, adding to the overall sense of desolation and quiet isolation.
