Workers Inspecting a Neon Sewer System

Neon color washes over every tiled surface of this underground sewer complex. Along the top, workers climb ladders to inspect overhead pipes striped in rainbow light, while another mops a puddle of glowing green slime nearby. A boy hides behind a cluster of purple barrels, and a worker cradles a box of glowing blue orbs that spill loose across the floor. Yellow arrows painted on the walls and tiles point the way through the maze of rooms. Below, a pink alligator pokes its head from behind a barred grate as small lantern-lit boats drift along a canal. Two men carry a heavy manhole cover across an upper walkway, and stacked wooden crates crowd a side room where musicians play guitar, bass, and drums in the glow. Every corridor here answers to its own painted arrow, so the tangle of pipes and passages still finds its own order.
