Echoes of an Ancient Soul: A Haunting Black-and-White Dreamscape

{
  "prompt": "Craft a surreal and poetic black-and-white video portrait of an ancient Chinese figure, shrouded in mystery. Multiple ghostly faces emerge and dissolve into one another, overlapping and distorting as if memories are colliding. Their expressions shift from serenity to anguish, creating a fragmented sense of self. The backdrop is a dark, minimalist void with faint swirling textures, evoking the feeling of an endless dreamscape. Soft, ethereal lighting brushes across the contours of the faces, highlighting the delicate tension between beauty and despair. The visual style should feel like an experimental fine art photograph brought to life, blending surrealism with deep psychological symbolism, immersing the viewer in an eerie yet poetic meditation on identity.",
