A black-and-white illustration depicting the haunting final scene of the 1968 film Planet of the Apes, rendered in a blend of graphite and digital paint. The composition depicts a desolate shoreline where the Statue of Liberty lies in ruins, partially buried beneath rock and sand, her disheveled form a stark reminder of civilization’s downfall. In the foreground, the film’s protagonist kneels in anguish, his body tense with the weight of his realization—he has been home all along, and the world he once knew is lost. Behind him, his love interest stands beside a horse, her gaze fixed on the shattered monument as the bleak truth settles in. 

The monochromatic palette was used to enhance the starkness of the moment, echoing themes of disillusionment, societal collapse, and the consequences of unchecked power. The scene was influential as a cautionary reflection—the film’s warning that even the most enduring symbols of freedom and democracy are not immune to destruction, whether by external forces or the hubris of those meant to protect them.

An illustration of charcoal texture depicts a scene from season 5, episode 25, The Masks, of show The Twilight Zone. It shows a family of a brother and sister and mom and dad all looking horrified and shocked with distorted faces that have molded into the shape of the masks they had been wearing earlier in the episode. Their faces contorted to show the true nature of the personalities inside.

The masks are off now…

“They now wear the faces of all that was inside them—and they'll wear them for the rest of their lives”- Rod Sterling, The Masks, season 5, episode 25, The Twilight Zone.
