The artwork titled “Things from the Flood,” created by Simon Stalenhag in 2016, is a piece belonging to the Digital Art movement and falls under the illustration genre. It is part of the series “Things from the Flood.”
In the artwork, a desolate winter landscape is depicted, with a snow-covered road curving slightly through the composition. To the side of the road, two large, decrepit mechanical structures, reminiscent of abandoned, insect-like robots, lie partly buried in the snow. The cold, muted color palette enhances the sense of isolation and abandonment, with the mechanical remnants seemingly frozen in time. The sky is overcast, adding to the somber mood, and a flock of black birds in flight further accentuates the bleak and forlorn atmosphere of the scene. The careful detailing and imaginative elements in this digital illustration evoke a narrative of a post-apocalyptic world where remnants of advanced machinery litter a desolate landscape.
