A woman wearing white trousers, a white long-sleeve top, and a navy gilet leans forward onto a long sword, its tip resting at the centre of concentric circles made of blue light and deep shadow. Behind her, a backdrop of scattered light dots against darkness evokes a starry night sky, with a faint green haze resembling northern lights. Her shadow stretches symmetrically to both her left and right, reinforcing the image’s geometric composition. She appears focused and contemplative.
