The artwork is titled “Things from the Flood,” created by artist Simon Stålenhag in 2016. It belongs to the Digital Art movement and falls within the genre of illustration. This piece is part of the series “Things from the Flood.”
The artwork depicts a desolate, snow-covered landscape dominated by two large, derelict machines resembling robotic creatures. Positioned prominently in the background, these decrepit machines appear to be abandoned, partially buried in snow, and evoke a sense of post-apocalyptic decay. The scene is set against a cold, overcast sky, enhancing the eerie and melancholic atmosphere. A winding, icy road leads the viewer’s eye through the barren land, further emphasizing the desolation. Small details, such as the birds in flight and the weathered signs, add to the narrative, suggesting a story of abandonment and technological remnants in a futuristic, yet forlorn, world.
