Brave New World

I was really inspired by 1895 post-apocalyptic science-fiction novel by H.G. Wells - 'The Time Machine' - where the future world is divided into the underground and the surface world. In that world, the 'Morlocks' were relegated to working and living underground so that the rich could live in luxury on the surface.

In this particular project, due to the sea level rising in the far far future, people were forced to build cities above the flooded metropolises. This main tower represents one of the many pillars supporting the new world that is located above, on the sunny surface. The underground dwellers had to use any structure that was still above the water level, so some of the supporting pillars were adopted for vertical settlements and industrial hubs.

When it comes to overall esthetics, I really wanted to create more cinematic look and recreate a look of famous Canon K-35 lenses with a very characteristic Bokeh effect.
