Notes
Many assets from Quixel Megascans and the Smithsonian's collections of 3d models were used for the scene. All other elements were modelled/textured by myself.
The scene is a projection of a drowned London in the year 2100, as recent climate reports e.g. 2019 IPCC report has projected that many UK cities will be underwater by the end of this century. This thus raises the question about what will happen to the existing architecture of these now-underwater cities. Here, I imagine that many marine wildlife will begin to inhabit these underwater spaces, thus becoming a new habitat for a completely non-human species.
