Glowing Floating Hole Minimal Futuristic Calm

Tags
Show a single circular hole floating in midair, intention: quiet, uncanny focus that reveals the year as light, the image meant to feel like a contemplative, futuristic still — medium: high-detail digital painting with soft grain and subtle glow. The hole sits centered in a 16:9 horizontal frame, its diameter about one-third of the image height, plenty of dark negative space around it for emphasis; slightly above center vertically so the lower negative space reads heavier. The rim of the hole is a polished, glossy metallic edge catching an electric blue accent (#00AEEF) and faint violet highlights; the rim emits a soft, even rim-light that bleeds gently into the surrounding deep navy background (#0B0F1A). Inside the void there is no solid surface — instead thin, semi-translucent light filaments float and slowly shift, colors cycling between cyan, teal and violet (#00FFD5, #6A00FF), they rearrange in motion and then settle into the numerals "2026" made of the same luminescent lines; the digits appear centered within the circle, medium thickness, slightly rounded geometric type, glowing steadily once formed. Lighting is cool and diffuse, a soft ambient glow from the rim and internal filaments creates subtle falloff and soft specular highlights on the rim; no harsh shadows. Textures: the rim looks smooth and reflective with microscopic scratches; the inner lines have a glassy, refractive sheen and faint bloom. Composition notes: wide 16:9 crop, centered subject, negative space preserved on left and right for a cinematic feel, slight vertical offset as described; keep edges of the hole crisp against the soft halo. Mood: quiet, precise, slightly otherworldly — convey stillness after gentle motion as the numbers settle.
