Create an illustration inspired by Edward Gorey's style, featuring a character sitting in a futuristic chair within a minimalistic, curvilinear space. Use intricate cross-hatching to depict fine details and subtle shading on the character’s futuristic attire, creating a sense of texture and depth. The character should have an expressionless face with a simplified yet slightly distorted silhouette, evoking a sense of detachment and coldness. The background should remain minimal, with soft, sweeping curves and geometric forms to emphasize the stark contrast between the futuristic setting and the character's stillness. Include symbolic motifs such as a small shadowy figure in the corner or an abstract clock in the background, subtly hinting at themes of timelessness and isolation. The overall atmosphere should evoke an unsettling, quiet tension, blending realistic, highly detailed linework with an otherworldly, eerie presence.
