“What’s ‘gentrification?’”

A colossal planet looms impossibly close in the neon-drenched sky, its massive form reflected perfectly in the glass-like waters surrounding a solitary figure gazing up from a futuristic cityscape. The piece masterfully blends vaporwave's dreamy nostalgia with cyberpunk's edge, creating a visual symphony of pink and teal hues that practically scream "lofi beats to contemplate existence to." Look, if you're not already making this your ultrawide wallpaper while pretending you're the lonely protagonist of your own dystopian narrative, we simply cannot be friends.
