Prompt

A surreal and metaphorical scene in muted tones and a melancholic atmosphere. A young man sits on the floor, dressed casually, completely absorbed in his mobile phone screen. Behind him rises a giant, disproportionate candle, its melted wax dripping onto his head, shoulders, and torso, as if slowly consuming him. The wax forms thick, almost sculptural layers, evoking exhaustion, weariness, and a loss of vitality. Beside him, a dog barks, trying to get his attention with an urgent and lively expression, but the young man doesn't react. Above the phone floats a holographic notification, a "like" icon accompanied by "24.7K," glowing with a cold tone, a symbol of the digital validation that keeps him trapped. The lighting is dim, with soft shadows and a palette of muted grays, ochres, and blues, reinforcing the feeling of disconnection from the real world. The style blends detailed realism with a touch of surrealism, like a contemporary painting with echoes of social critique. The composition emphasizes the contrast between the young man's passivity, the dog's urgency, and the candle consuming him. Overall impression: a visual metaphor for emotional exhaustion and technological dependence—silent, melancholic, and profoundly symbolic.

He doesn't work, he doesn't study, he doesn't eat, he doesn't sleep, he doesn't go out. I don't know what to do with him.
