While oil companies reaped massive profits, the general population in Germany was left struggling with immensely rising fuel costs. This 3D composition transforms that tension into an emotional and thought-provoking scene.
A steep mountain road represents the uphill struggle of everyday people facing relentless price increases. Along the path, cars are falling, people stumble and despair, and the entire atmosphere conveys frustration and helplessness — emotions familiar to many with middle or lower incomes during this turbulent time.
Through 3D artwork and conceptual visualization, the piece turns social critique into a visually striking narrative. It invites reflection — not just about economics, but about the human impact behind rising costs and geopolitical crises.
This visual stands as a symbolic artwork for everyone affected — a digital protest, rendered in photorealistic precision.
