A couple of weeks ago I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole about the jaw-dropping visual effects in the 1911 silent film L’Inferno, and discovered it was all inspired by Gustave Doré’s 1861 engravings of Dante’s Inferno. I was instantly obsessed, because those engravings are stunning, haunting and utterly unforgettable, building pure dread from nothing but fine hatching and light!
The moment I heard about this challenge I knew exactly what I wanted to make, so I found the complete set of plates on Wikimedia Commons and turned them into a custom Recraft Style. I’m still curious, and surprised, by how naturally Doré’s descent fits the modern city.
That became the idea tying the whole series together: The Modern Hell, a book-style journey in which two travelers descend through a city, and every scene turns a stage of Dante’s descent into an allegory of an everyday habit, like scrolling, overconsumption and debt.

Chaekgeori 2026 — The Shelves of Today
Chaekgeori were 19th-century Korean folding screens that painted a scholar's bookshelf as a portrait: no face, only books, brushes, porcelain and the objects that defined a person. I found these screens in the open-access collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art (CC0) and The Met (Public Domain), and trained a Recraft V4 Style on their flat reverse perspective, mineral pigments and indigo silk.
Then I asked the Style to paint the shelves of 2026: a streamer, a developer, a DJ, a student, a gamer, a podcaster, a designer and a remote worker. Each one is still a portrait without a person. The ring light sits next to the peony vase, the rubber duck next to the ink stone, the sleeping cat next to the clock. The genre was always about the objects that define us; it just needed new objects.
The project shows the full 8-panel screen, plus each shelf as its own folding screen.
