Create a square museum-quality photograph of a handmade cotton-paper collage depicting a curling ocean wave and low islands on the horizon. Build the artwork from layered sheets with visibly torn edges in indigo, slate blue, warm white, and a restrained touch of ochre. Use translucent fiber paper for the foaming crest and leave generous areas of unprinted warm-white paper in the sky. The composition is contemporary paper art rather than a photoreal seascape: a dark weighted surge across the lower field, one diagonal band of pale surf guiding the eye, and calm breathing space above. Place the finished collage flat on a light wood worktable and photograph it from directly overhead with soft lateral museum lighting. Reveal cotton fibers, varying paper thickness, slightly lifted edges, delicate deckle, and honest cast shadows between layers. Keep every paper shape intentional and handcrafted. No digital gradients, no plastic sheen, no oil-paint texture, no typography, no seals, no logos, no watermark, no cloned wave shapes, and no rigid symmetry.
