Whenever I saw it, I presumed it was stuff built and maintained by those depicted, and we were seeing the in-between as conditions reached a point where the relative downtime was enough that it was the majority of experienced time.
Sure, but it's equally possible to interpret it in other ways as well. That's the problem here, how things are created is left up to your imagination. Solar-punk aesthetic is equally compatible with people enjoying the fruits of their own labour or a society built on slavery.
Ah, phrased that way, I can definitely see that. Especially considering how much of it comes from the West, where much of our material comforts comes from exploitative labor. Good criticism.
