Researcher amid swirling code-storm

A lone researcher sits cross-legged at the center of a dim lab, calm and focused as an orbiting storm of tiny glowing characters moves around them like a visible wind. The glyphs pulse in cool deep blue and cyan with intermittent amber sparks, and the palette of #0B3D91, #00A3CC and #FFD166 shimmers against near-black surfaces with a hint of #1A1A1A. Surfaces remain mostly unlettered and clean, with micro-markings on a wooden desk reduced to abstract lines and faint scratches. The atmosphere feels charged and slightly humid, as if the air itself is carrying glyphs in a slow drift. Lighting is soft and directional to carve the figure and the characters with gentle separation, producing a cool overall bias with warm accent flecks. Focus resolves crisply on the researcher’s face and hands, with shallow depth letting the nearest swirls maintain sharp detail while distant forms soften. The framing is vertical 9:16, tight to medium, eye-level viewpoint, and centered crop that keeps the figure central with negative space above for the spiraling storm. A worn notebook and a simple lamp sit nearby as props to suggest study and containment, while subtle motion blur trails give the characters a sense of swift orbit and kinetic energy.
