Vertical inequalities between the rich and the poor, namely between Immortan Joe and his servants, are literally vertical: The lush greenery and Immortan Joe's spatially elevated position in the Citadel (which has "everything you need, as long as you're not afraid of heights") is in stark contrast to the rest of the town, particularly in the scene where he pours water to the scrambling citizens below. Horizontal inequality is represented by a wide expanse of desert spanning the horizon, a seemingly endless chasm between the citizens of the Citadel and the "resource-rich enclaves" beyond Fury
