*After all of this time, After all of these seasons, After your one decision, To go to the water for reason, It's only the ocean and you.* 

 *Only the Ocean by Jack Johnson*

  
**PROMPT**

**Unisex**

A paper-crafted scene of a person standing on a wooden boardwalk at a bright summer beach, facing slightly toward the ocean. The person is a multi-layered paper cutout. The face is a clean, solid paper shape with distinct, separate paper-cut layers for the eyes, nose, and mouth. Each facial feature is a precisely cut paper piece, perfectly symmetrical, leveled, and glued in place. Eyes are evenly spaced; the mouth is a subtle, proportional paper sliver. No warping, no blurred features, no asymmetry. ​The person's clothing is defined through separate cut layers: a white paper t-shirt and blue denim-textured paper shorts in overlapping pieces. One arm rests along the boardwalk railing, the other holds a rolled paper map constructed from curled strips. ​The entire scene is made from paper quilling and layered techniques: waves formed from spiraled blue strips and clouds shaped from soft white curls. The boardwalk is stacked paper planks with visible edges. The beach is adorned with curled paper seashells, clustered coils for plants, and a papercraft umbrella. The background reveals the ocean horizon and a distant pier. Bright natural daylight creates soft cast shadows between the stacked layers. Rendered strictly in a tactile papercut art style with visible paper grain and clean edges.
