A solitary figure of a woman stands resolute amidst the winter wonderland, her piercing gaze directed straight into the lens from a low and tilted left camera angle. She's flanked by a soft bundle of white fluffy dog, its fur glistening in the pale light. In the background, a rustic cabin rises like a beacon, its wooden slats weathered to a gentle grey. The surrounding landscape is blanketed in a thick layer of snow, with delicate rime ice formations adorning the branches above. A broken car, its metal twisted and mangled, stands abandoned on the edge of the clearing. Smoke drifts lazily from the chimney of the cabin, a faint warmth emanating into the biting cold.
