Create an illustration inspired by Edward Gorey's style. Depict a surreal scene featuring a sailor-like character in a striped shirt and a large straw hat adorned with a bird’s nest and a perched bird. The character should have a distant, almost expressionless gaze, adding a sense of ambiguity and unease. The background should be filled with a network of fishing nets entangled with numerous empty bottles, each meticulously rendered using cross-hatching and fine linework to show reflections and shadows. The character’s clothing, the textures of the straw hat, and the delicate feathers of the bird should all be detailed with intricate pen work to create a rich, layered effect. The background should be minimal, focusing on the character and the fishing nets, with deep shadows to emphasize isolation and surrealism. Include symbolic elements such as a small broken clock nestled among the bottles or a single feather drifting down, subtly suggesting the themes of time, emptiness, and entrapment. Use a monochromatic or muted color palette to highlight the detailed linework and enhance the cold, eerie atmosphere characteristic of Gorey's illustrations.
