#diversity saturday - in the Noise: A Portrait of Sensory Overload

• Model: AIVision

• Size: 1024 X 1024 (1.05 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: A middle-aged gnome with a tall pointed hat and a long ivory-white beard sits hunched on a rooftop garden bench, visibly distressed as the overwhelming noise of the city crashes in from all sides. His hands are pressed tightly over his noise-canceling headphones, eyes squeezed shut, and shoulders tensed, trying to block out the sensory chaos. Below him, the modern city pulses with intensity—honking cars, flashing advertisements, shouting crowds—represented as warped sound waves and jagged neon shapes climbing the walls and pressing in on the rooftop. The garden, meant as a calm retreat, is barely holding the intrusion back; its soft lights flicker under the pressure, and the plants bend unnaturally as if reacting to the noise. Rendered in expressive digital painting with high contrast between warm sanctuary tones and harsh, invasive city lights. Sharp motion lines, vibrating color patterns, and fragmented textures illustrate the gnome’s sensory overload. Harsh urban lighting clashes with dim rooftop glows, creating a visual storm of overstimulation. His entire posture and environment reflect the inner impact of sensory overload, without a single word spoken.
