"Flooded City"

  • Dmitry Ryabchuk

"Flooded City" is a project for the department of Visual Arts at the University of the Fraser Valley in Canada, which I have been actively working on from January until March of 2019. The project is a part of the debate about the future of Homo Sapiens. The model occupies a 42x42 cm board and is built at a 1:2400 scale.
