A mist-shrouded valley in northern China's Linghquan Mountains, with a towering standing pillar statue of a serene woman's figure, carved from copper-red stone, gazing out towards the distant Tian Shan range. The camera lingers at ground level, with a makeshift wooden ladder leaning against the statue's base, where a crow perches atop a stacked pile of weathered wood grain texts and weathered leather-bound scrolls. The atmospheric lighting is heavy and dreamlike, with the statue's form blending with the surrounding landscape in shades of warm red, rust, and faded gray.
