Snowflake Veil Portrait: Winter in Glass

An artistic, photorealistic portrait of a woman in luxurious winter attire. She wears an ivory wool coat with a plush fur collar, a chunky knitted scarf, and a soft beanie. In front of her face hovers a single, enormous crystalline snowflake, acting as a veil. The snowflake is ultra-detailed, with hexagonal symmetry and delicate frost branches that refract light, partially obscuring her features while letting hints of her eyes and lips show through frost patterns. The scene is bathed in cool, cinematic lighting—slender side light from the left creates a subtle rim glow on the ice crystal and soft shadowing on the opposite side. Color palette features icy blues, silvery whites, and touches of lavender. Background suggests a quiet, snow-lit forest or a distant, low-light urban scene with soft bokeh and faint street lights, kept intentionally blurred to emphasize the foreground veil. Depth of field is shallow, with sharp focus on the snowflake and veil, textured fabrics, and frost on the skin, while skin tone remains natural under frost. The mood is ethereal, introspective, and conceptual, exploring identity and fragility as winter takes hold. Style blends photorealism with surreal abstraction, inviting viewers to interpret the mask as a metaphor for hidden emotions and the hush of cold.
