Two Houses in a Storm, One on Rock

Two houses stand in a storm in a quilled paper relief, a small stone house on a high rock standing firm in streaming rain while a house on sand slumps into quilled flood waves beneath layered clouds.

Prompt

A sculptural paper relief made from rolled quilled spirals, thick stacked cutouts and fine fibrous card texture in plum, lilac, coral, butter yellow, magenta and teal against warm ochre, richly saturated midtones and deep layer shadows. Build the scene as a shallow stage of five or six separate paper planes set one behind another, the front plane cut as an open frame, each plane casting a soft shadow on the next, light from one side or glowing from behind a middle plane. The house on the rock in a wide frame: two houses side by side across a stormy sky, on the left a small stone house founded on a high rock with quilled storm rain streaming harmlessly past it, on the right a house of sand slumping into quilled flood waves, dark layered storm clouds and a break of butter yellow light above the rock house. Light: deep layer shadows under stormy stacked clouds with a break of butter yellow light above the rock house, richly saturated quilled rain and waves in teal, plum, coral and ochre; palette of ochre, teal, plum, coral and butter yellow; dramatic, contrasting, hopeful. Wide 16:9 frame. A respectful parable scene in a simple ancient setting, figures as plain cut-paper shapes with small painted dot eyes and no glowing eyes, no halos, no lettering or readable scripture, no brand marks, nothing irreverent.
