Molten Cascade Meeting Waves Beneath the Stars
portrait artwork · lava cascade · molten waves · basalt cliff
Compose a 9:16 portrait artwork showing a narrow molten cascade feeding rolling lava waves beneath a starry sky. Place the cascade along the left side of a tall basalt cliff, descending into a luminous basin across the lower third. The basin must contain distinct wave crests rather than appearing as a flat lava pool. Above the cliff, reveal a generous wedge of clear night filled with fine stars. Use directional amber light from below to reveal columnar rock textures, while the upper cliff remains cool violet-black. Balance vertical descent with horizontal wave motion, using drifting vapor only near the point of contact.
