Visual Description

A single black crow hangs in a muted grey sky, its feathers ruffled and wings folded inward. Seven steel swords with twisted, gold-accented hilts surround and pierce through the bird’s plumage and the air around it. The scene is spare and stark, focused on the interplay of the dark bird and the gleaming blades.
