AI Model: midjourney-v7

Prompt: Assemblage sculpture photography with meticulous found-object detail and environmental-art storytelling, combined with documentary realism lighting under overcast skies, creating a textural fusion of marine debris and organic form. The result should manifest as hyperreal surface complexity, weathered plastic patinas, and layered ocean-reclaimed materials rendered with crisp depth of field and muted natural color grading. A life-sized seal figure constructed entirely from plastic debris recovered from the ocean, its body formed of salvaged bottle caps, broken container fragments, weathered buoys, and dark marine plastics, draped in turquoise fishing net tangled with crushed bottles and frayed rope, head lifted in a poised forward gaze. Scene set on a riverside promenade during an overcast afternoon, with soft diffused light and a cool gray atmosphere, featuring a blue truss bridge spanning the water, white railings, bare winter trees, and distant rolling hills.
