## Prompt

```text
Use case: stylized-concept
Asset type: vertical social-media artwork for the “Your Dark Side” theme

Create a haunting original scene in a {location} flooded with shallow black water. On the empty stage stands a {subject}, facing the audience. The seats are vacant, but hundreds of tall shadow versions of that same person rise silently from the water between the rows. Every shadow has its hands covering its own mouth except one enormous silhouette in the royal box, whose mouth is a perfectly black doorway opening into a deeper impossible space. The real person has no visible facial detail and remains composed.

Vertical 9:16 composition viewed from the rear of the auditorium, stage centered far away, layered depth through flooded seating, towering royal box near the upper third. Cold silver spotlight on the small white performer, almost total darkness elsewhere, very restrained wine-red reflections beneath the silent shadow audience. Decayed velvet, wet gilded surfaces reduced to black, mist, fine dust in the light beam, premium cinematic dark surrealism, photorealistic textures, elegant and psychologically unsettling.

Color palette: {colors}.

Constraints: entirely original; one real human figure only, with shadow forms functioning as metaphor; no text, logos, signatures, borders, or watermark.

Avoid: facial mutilation, black material covering skin, glowing eyes, gore, screaming monsters, theatrical comedy/tragedy masks, busy colorful décor, imitation of any named artist.
```
