404 /// American Ghost

This illustration explores the collision of technology, mythology, and political identity through a heavily stylized science fiction lens. The central figure exists somewhere between astronaut, revolutionary, and corrupted digital artifact—a symbol of civilization attempting to rebuild itself from broken information.

The visual language intentionally combines:

• Analog print textures

• CRT glitch artifacts

• Retro-futurist typography

• Graphic novel illustration

• Distressed poster design

• Cosmic horror influences

Rather than depicting a specific event, the image asks what happens when culture itself becomes corrupted data. The title "404" references the familiar internet error while also suggesting the disappearance of history, truth, and identity.

Created entirely as a digital illustration.
