Apocalyptic Tryptich

Prompt: A city burns beneath a sky choked with smoke and embers, its skyscrapers wreathed in flames that lick upward like grasping hands. Molten rivers of fire cascade down shattered glass facades, while explosions bloom in the distance, painting the horizon in violent hues of orange and crimson. The air shimmers with heat, distorting the ruins of once-towering structures into a nightmarish silhouette. Screams and the roar of collapsing steel mingle with the crackling of infernos, as the city is consumed by an unstoppable tide of brimstone and ruin.

The proliferation of AI models has paved the way for more creative opportunities, so I decided to render a post-apocalyptic scene that evokes, for me, exactly how life feels at this very moment. Instability, polarization, and anger are all abundant in these trying times. At the same time, I once had a phase when I thought the rapture would "take us all" at some point, but it never happened, and I outgrew the beliefs that had once convinced me of this idea. Still, rendering these pieces feels cathartic in the sense that they enable me to express myself by exploring my religious trauma.

At the same time, whether it be the fact that I'm queer and nonbinary, or the reality that I'm a nonbeliever of sorts, I can't help but find the irony in rendering scenes that are supposedly predestined for me for simply existing and believing in the ways that I do.

Finally, being one of the first pieces that I have made using a platform that I created in collaboration with AI coding tools adds extra meaning to what this can render.
