"A surreal, symbolic interpretation of Gogol’s Diary of a Madman. Focus on the character’s fractured mind and perception of reality. The man should be depicted in a dreamlike state, with fragmented or floating elements around him, such as clocks, eyes, or abstract shapes, symbolizing his deteriorating grip on reality. His expression is a mix of fear, confusion, and anger, with his surroundings becoming increasingly distorted. The style should be dark, atmospheric, with soft, blurred lines contrasted by sharp, haunting details. A mixture of light and shadow creates a surreal, unsettling mood, with emphasis on internal chaos rather than realism." --ar 3:4
