A desolate, ruined landscape of downtown Seattle, The Dead Zone, 15 years post-collapse. A scavenger, a mid-30s survivor of the Fall, is climbing through a rubble pile, prying open a rusted storage container with a focused, hopeful but wary expression. The subject is layered in salvaged clothing, with a gas mask hanging from their belt. In the foreground, concrete chunks, rebar, and broken glass scatter the ground, weathered and reclaimed by nature. Collapsed buildings and vehicles loom in the midground, their skeletal structures overgrown with vines. In the background, skyscraper husks and cranes stand frozen in mid-construction, with birds nesting and clouds drifting through broken windows. The atmosphere is overcast, with a threat of rain, and the air is dusty and filled with particulate matter.
