A woman in an intricately embroidered **gown of liquid pearl** reclines beside a **smooth, organic pod**, its curved glass reflecting **a sky that is not this one**. Her head is encased in a **seamless white helmet**, featureless except for a **single, dark lens that does not blink.** The red flowers growing around her are **unnervingly symmetrical**, blooming in a perfect spiral around the pod. She holds one between gloved fingers, examining it as if it contains a secret only she can decipher. The pod hums softly, a heartbeat-like rhythm, as if it is whispering to her in a language long forgotten. The vines coil slowly, growing towards her, sensing something unseen. **Inspired by:** surreal dream technology, ancient sleep experiments, organic AI, floral intelligence.
