The artwork “Things from the Flood,” created by Simon Stalenhag in 2016, is a piece within the Digital Art movement. It belongs to the genre of illustration and forms part of the “Things from the Flood” series.
The artwork features a desolate winter landscape dominated by two large, broken-down and partially snow-covered mechanical structures. These intricate, mechanical relics are positioned on either side of a winding, snowy road that curves into the distance. The muted color palette, dominated by shades of gray and white, enhances the atmosphere of cold and isolation. A flock of birds hovering above the scene adds a sense of stillness and abandoned serenity to the composition. The interplay of natural elements with the stark, industrial machinery evokes a feeling of haunting melancholy, typical of Stalenhag’s illustrative style.
