CITY 2

When creating this piece, Yun tapped back into his childhood and the love he had for space, the future, the unknown Growing up, Yun always had a fascination for outer space Movies such as Star Wars, Alien, Logan’s Run, 2001: A Space Odyssey captured my imagination, and as a child he would always find art as an outlet to showcase the vivid images he had in my head Fast forward years later, the inspiration behind this piece comes directly from his continued love for ’60s and ’70s science fiction movies and books

Yun's vision for the distant future is optimistic but bleak as well In his illustration there is a sense of claustrophobia as if things weren’t added in an orderly or planned out manner With all the lights glowing everywhere, it is clear this city never goes to sleep While Yun's illustration is just a fictional representation of his imagination, overpopulation, poor city planning, loss of vegetation, proliferation of light pollution are all things that we witness on Earth today It would be foolish to suggest that these things would never happen in a planet far far away in a distant future
