Art style: Tim Burton-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright — a middle-aged woman in her early fifties, the mother, seen in a dim apartment hallway. Gaunt oval face with high cheekbones, pale grey-tinged skin, deep shadowed hollows under large dark tired eyes, thin lips pressed faintly. Dark hair streaked with grey pulled into a loose low bun with a few limp strands falling forward. Slim, slightly stooped frame in a faded knee-length housecoat over a plain grey nightgown, a thin knitted cardigan hanging open, worn house slippers on her feet. One frail hand lifted toward an unseen door, the other clutching a small keyring. Standing on cracked tile before a scuffed steel door, single bare bulb casting a cold sallow light, faint mist curling near the floor. Uneasy, sorrowful, unnervingly still expression.
