In Snowpiercer, the train serves as a microcosm of class division, contrasting the treatment of passengers in the front and rear cars. This metaphor extends into a visual sequence where sunlight becomes a symbol of resources. Illuminating the high-rise residences of the privileged while casting lower floors into shadow, the light reveals the stark disparities of social hierarchy, mirroring real world inequities in wealth, space, and opportunity.

Concept
In Snowpiercer, the train becomes a microcosm of class division: sunlight, space, and resources divide the front and rear cars.
This sequence uses the same idea. Light, space, and height act as metaphors for privilege, revealing the city’s social hierarchy. The wealthy live in bright, open rooms; the poor in cramped spaces lit by artificial light.
Like the film, both worlds appear in the same room, making the contrast impossible to ignore. The imagery becomes a quiet metaphor for how deeply class divides are built into the city.
