Medium shot of a 40-year-old prisoner with brown skin, visibly of Bolivian or Kolla origin, inside a decayed solitary confinement cell (3 by 2 meters) in a northern Argentina detention facility. The space feels suffocating and cluttered: piles of worn plastic bags, spoiled food remains, bottles filled with opaque liquid, scattered metallic fragments, and crumpled paper. His upper body is visible under the flashlight, showing old surgical scars, improvised metallic piercings, grimy skin, and a crude faded tattoo of a mechanical policeman, roughly made. Around his neck hangs a small fragile bird effigy — lifeless and motionless — tied with a thin string, worn as an uncanny amulet. The walls are smeared with stains, unsettling symbols, and disturbing words. No doors or windows are visible. Everything is lit only by the cold beam of a flashlight, casting extreme contrast and deep shadows, as if without it, total darkness would prevail. The atmosphere is humid, claustrophobic, and dreamlike. Include surreal and absurd background details, blending hyperrealism with metaphorical unease. Style inspired by icysaw: extreme textural detail, gritty realism, muted sickly tones, cinematic depth, haunting yet strangely elegant composition.
