The artwork titled “Things from the Flood,” created by Simon Stålenhag in 2016, belongs to the Digital Art movement and falls under the genre of illustration. It is part of the “Things from the Flood” series.
The artwork features a desolate, wintry landscape marked by a snow-covered road that draws the viewer’s eye towards the horizon. Two large, surreal, mechanical structures are half-buried in the snow on either side of the road, evoking a sense of abandonment and decay. These structures appear to be futuristic machinery or possibly robotic remnants, hinting at a story of technological downfall. The cold and foggy atmosphere amplifies the feeling of isolation, while a flock of birds in the distance adds a touch of life to the otherwise bleak scenery. The meticulous detail and somber palette are typical of Stålenhag’s style, blending natural and mechanical elements to evoke a hauntingly dystopian world.
