A robot sits in an armchair in a detailed stone room, looking out a window at surreal floating islands in a cloudy sky. Maps and books litter the floor.

Perfect — you're aiming for **two symbolic scenes**, each with a **central non-human subject** in the **Shaun Tan style**, surrounded by surreal, detailed environments that reflect **two aspects of a long-term friendship**: 1. One side = **Philosophical, introspective, searching** 2.

In the center sits a large, weathered mechanical jellyfish — part creature, part ancient device — resting quietly in a sunken armchair made of stone and cloth. Its glowing core pulses faintly, like a heartbeat. > > Around it, the room is quiet and thoughtful. Stacks of unreadable books lean precariously, an old compass ticks without direction, and maps curl on the floor like old skin. A window shows a cloudy sky filled with floating islands and lost balloons. On the walls, faded diagrams and constellation charts hang beside empty picture frames. > > The jellyfish radiates calm intelligence — a symbol of deep thought, memory, and silent awareness. > > Color palette: muted blues, greys, and rusted bronze. The lighting is soft, with long shadows and ambient glows. > > Art style: See more
