Idil Dursun, 2120

Artist Statement

Title: Highgardens of NYC

Year: 2120

It’s the year 2120 and the sun sets over the great New York City. The pandemic was over after many years and humanity found the cure in nature. As the megacity of New York expands through the skies with its population getting higher, nature rises with it. The city was breathing once again.
