Create an illustration in the style of Edward Gorey, depicting a mysterious puppet-like figure inspired by traditional Southeast Asian shadow puppetry. Use meticulous cross-hatching and fine, intricate linework to capture every detail of the ornate mask and embroidered costume. Ensure the figure has a simple, stylized silhouette with slightly exaggerated proportions. Keep the facial expression emotionless, hinting at a strange detachment or eerie calm. The background should be minimal, emphasizing negative space to convey a sense of emptiness or suspense. Include symbolic elements subtly, such as abstracted swirls, suggesting movement or a hidden narrative. Focus on contrast, using dark shadows and fine lines to evoke texture and depth.
