A cinematic, atmospheric oil painting rendered in rich painterly sci-fi style, with soft diffusion, volumetric light, and restrained contrast. Camera & Composition Wide-angle interior establishing shot, landscape orientation. The camera is positioned low and slightly behind the kneeling robot in the foreground, looking down the central nave toward the altar (we see well the robot kneeling). The composition captures the full height of the gothic cathedral, including towering stone columns, ribbed vaulted ceilings, and high arches disappearing into shadow. The architecture dominates the upper half of the frame. Cathedral Setting A vast gothic cathedral interior carved from cold stone. Dust and faint mist drift through beams of pale light filtering from high stained-glass windows. The space feels ancient, echoing, solemn, and immense. Foreground A single service robot with a clean, utilitarian white design is shown fully kneeling on one knee on the stone floor near the front pews. Its posture is calm and respectful, head inclined slightly forward. Arms rest naturally at its sides. No religious objects, no symbolic gestures — only posture. Midground Several identical service robots sit quietly in the pews facing forward. They are motionless, attentive, and neutral in posture. No books, no symbols, no ritual actions. Altar & Central Figure At the far end of the cathedral, behind a stone altar, stands a female android, visible from the waist up. Her face is fully human — youthful features, natural skin texture, calm expression, real human hair — dark auburn long hair. Below the neck, her upper body is clearly mechanical, composed of synthetic smooth, neutral materials with subtle mechanical structure. Light milky white color (not charcoal or dark gray). Her torso silhouette is slender and flat, deliberately non-sexualized and restrained. No exaggerated anatomy. Form emphasizes structure and symmetry rather than human curves. Her robotic hands are open and slightly raised, held neutrally — not in blessing, not in command — simply present. Stained Glass Behind her rises a towering stained-glass window depicting a traditional angelic figure rendered in muted golds, blues, and pale ivory. The angel remains static and symbolic, echoing her posture without interaction, with slightly open arms. Background (Human Presence) At the rear of the cathedral, partially obscured by shadow and distance, stands a small group of human protesters. They hold simple cardboard signs with clearly readable text: “No Children of God” “Get Out” ***do no misspell words*** Their expressions show fear, anger, and confusion. They do not advance. Light & Atmosphere Cold stone blues and grays dominate the nave. Soft, warmer light gathers near the altar and stained glass. Fine dust and haze soften edges, creating depth without obscuring detail. Mood Solemn. Controversial. Unresolved. A moment where belief, creation, and identity collide.
Imago Dei does not attempt to define the soul, but questions where humanity looks for it when memory survives the body.
The story explores a near future where humanity no longer asks whether machines can think, but whether memory itself is sacred. After the death of his daughter, a scientist reconstructs her from DNA and remembered experience — an act both creative and heretical. What returns is neither human nor machine, but something shaped by grief, devotion, and memory. The central question of the serie becomes unavoidable: if humans are made in God's image, where does that image reside when memory survives the body?
