## Prompt

```text
{
  "vibe_title_en": "Obsidian Ritual",
  "master_prompt": "A hyper-realistic, monochrome close-up portrait of The Protagonist, styled in avant-garde tribal brutalism. The subject's face is painted with thick, matte black vertical stripes that contour the bone structure, contrasting sharply against hyper-detailed skin pores and natural imperfections. They wear a voluminous, sculptural turban wrapped from coarse raw silk and heavy charcoal linen, emphasizing fabric weave and tactile weight. The hands are clasped tightly under the chin in a prayer-like gesture, painted with matching dark pigments that fade into the wrists. The setting is the interior of a weathered salt-silo, where white saline crystals on the walls catch harsh, angular shafts of light, creating a high-contrast chiaroscuro effect. Shot on a Hasselblad 500C/M with Ilford HP5 Plus black and white film, featuring heavy grain, deep crushed blacks, and a sharp focus on the eyes.",
