The artwork, titled “Crystals and Casiowary,” was created by Simon Stålenhag in 2018. This piece, belonging to the Digital Art movement, is classified under the genre of illustration.
In the artwork, one observes a lone figure, distinctly dressed in a yellow jacket and patterned pants, walking alongside a casuarius bird-like creature. The character also carries what appears to be a musical instrument case on their back. The background is a desolate, almost surreal landscape dominated by stacks of large, glowing cubes that emit an ethereal light in the otherwise muted, grayish environment. Sparse, dry vegetation is scattered across the scene, enhancing the sense of isolation and otherworldliness. The overall mood conveyed is one of exploration and uncertainty in a futuristic, perhaps post-apocalyptic, setting.
