Not limited to literature, steampunk extends to fashion, art, and cinema, and is known for its heavy use of brass, gears, and mechanisms that embody the era of the steam engine. Central to the steampunk ethos are themes of exploration and a blending of historical elements with anachronistic technological features inspired by science fiction. As demonstrated in this art piece, the genre often reimagines modern cities and technologies as they might have been envisioned in the Victorian era, creating a nostalgic yet innovative artistic expression.
