Visual Description

A tall, mist-shrouded forest fills the card, with several high-trunk trees and palms receding into soft, layered fog. The palette is muted greens and grays, creating depth as distant foliage fades into the mist. Black ink-like drips and a simple border frame the scene, with the Roman numeral XXI at the top and the title 'The World' at the bottom. The composition emphasizes vertical trunks and broad, feathery fronds against an atmospheric background.
