Ezekiel Digs Through the Wall With His Bundle
A blindfolded man pushes out through a hole in a mud-brick wall with a bundle on his shoulder, while men watch at dusk.
Prompt
Ezekiel 12: at dusk Ezekiel digs through the wall of his house and carries out his exile's baggage on his shoulder with his face covered. Ezekiel, a priest in a plain linen robe, is large and central, stooping out through a rough hole he has dug in a mud-brick wall, a bundled bag of belongings slung on his shoulder and a cloth drawn across his face so he cannot see the ground; a few exiles of Tel-abib stand close by in the twilight watching in bewilderment. Warm orange sunset sky and long shadows over the Babylonian plain. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
