Reflections Of What Has Not Been

A vast desert plain at twilight where monumental stone staircases rise from the sand and lead nowhere. A lone human figure casts multiple shadows that move independently, each performing a different action. The sky is filled with floating doors opening into star-filled interiors. Time appears fractured: melting clocks, suspended birds frozen mid-flight, and distant cities reflected upside-down in shallow pools of water. Dreamlike lighting, uncanny stillness, metaphysical symbolism, painterly surrealism, masterwork composition, oil painting texture, otherworldly yet precise.
