New York transforms into a surprisingly desert-like landscape. Iconic skyscrapers stand silently against a dusty sky, their once-gleaming surfaces now covered in a fine layer of golden sand.

In the distance, the Statue of Liberty stands solitary, her majestic silhouette almost ghostly in this transformed landscape. The sun shines relentlessly, casting its dazzling light on the desertified surfaces of the city that never sleeps, now temporarily immersed in sandy, silent slumber
