Monolith in the Ash

A surreal and minimalist depiction of a lonely, barren plain with a single ancient stone monolith. The monolith stands against a backdrop of endless, dark volcanic ash. A lone wanderer in a bright blue cloak approaches the monolith, leaving faint tracks in the ash. The sky is a gradient of purple, enhancing the stark, dreamlike quality. The style is cinematic with a high contrast between the dark ash and the vibrant sky, emphasizing the textures of the monolith and ash, conveying isolation and peace.
