A renowned opera singer, after an overwhelming encore, goes to her backstage dressing room lit by warm incandescent lights revealing fading walls smeared with arsenic-derived green paint. An old mirror with an ornamental frame hangs in the middle, reflecting her heavy makeup and flamboyant costume. A palette of roses, soft pinks, and warm golds spread throughout the room. The shot is captured from a high angle, showing the depth of her solitude in her moment of glory. The camera gently moves closer, capturing the dichotomy of her success and loneliness, a poignant picture of her pursuit of immortalization. Long, stark shadows are thrown across the room, making the space seem empty and hollow, just like her sense of accomplishment. She stands off-center, alone, vulnerable, yet powerful, a divine entity in a mortal world.
