## Prompt

```text
Ultra-realistic conceptual portrait of a {subject} while enormous black human shadows behind him pull his hoodie, arms, and legs in different directions like emotional chains. Each shadow represents pressure, fear, expectations, comparison, and self-doubt. Despite being dragged back, he keeps moving forward with a calm but exhausted expression. He wears {attire}. Strong directional spotlight from above creates dramatic long shadows stretching across the floor. The atmosphere feels emotionally heavy, cinematic, and fashion-editorial inspired. Typography: tiny handwritten text: “they pull me in every direction” giant brutalist typography: “{main_word}” “STABLE” crossed out aggressively with rough red paint strokes.
```
