A surreal, ethereal scene depicting the concept of "the captured time" in a dreamlike, otherworldly setting. The main subject is a massive, intricate hourglass suspended in mid-air, its glass surface shimmering with a translucent, iridescent glow. Inside, golden sand flows in slow motion, each grain sparkling like a tiny star. Surrounding the hourglass are floating fragments of time—broken clock hands, scattered numbers, and frozen moments captured in translucent bubbles. A young woman of East Asian descent, appearing in her mid-twenties, stands beneath the hourglass, her arms outstretched as if trying to touch the flowing sand. She wears a flowing, off-white gown with subtle silver embroidery, her long black hair cascading down her back, partially caught in an invisible breeze. Her expression is a mix of awe and melancholy, her almond-shaped eyes reflecting the golden light. The environment is a vast, empty space with a gradient of soft blues and purples, resembling a twilight sky. The lighting is soft and diffused, casting gentle shadows and highlighting the textures of the hourglass and the woman’s gown. The mood is contemplative and serene, evoking a sense of timelessness and introspection. Rendered in a painterly, impressionistic style with delicate brushstrokes and a dreamy atmosphere.
