This photograph explores my love for both nostalgic and dystopian themes, a tension between past and future. In this image, a man walks alone on a cold, rainy night in February. A retro neon sign looms over him, glowing into the night. Aggressive advertising, capitalism, and corporate power are recurring themes often used in the cyberpunk genre and frequently inspire my work. "The Retrofuturist" is an ode to my favorite Bladerunner films, which use large Coca-Cola advertisements in their future dystopian worlds.
