Jerusalem Wakes From the Cup of Wrath

Jerusalem Wakes From the Cup of Wrath

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

A woman in torn clothes kneels in a ruined street with a chain at her neck, an overturned cup spilling dark dregs beside her. She reaches toward the rising sun.

Prompt

Isaiah 51: Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem. A young woman of Jerusalem, picturing the city, rises from the dust of a ruined street at dawn, large and central, as a bronze cup slips from her hand and spills its dark dregs on the stones; she lifts her face toward the sunrise, shaking off her grief. Broken walls of Jerusalem behind her catch the first golden rays of morning, a mood of awakening. 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.
