Melting Melting input image of the sample
Prompt Under flat studio lighting against a seamless grey backdrop, the young man stands formally — immaculately dressed in a patterned sweater, crisp white shirt and red tie, high socks, and polished loafers, cradling a small terrier in his arms. His expression is neutral and calm, yet within moments, a surreal transformation begins. The melting starts subtly — a sheen of sweat-like gloss spreads across his forehead and hands. Then the sweater begins to droop at the shoulders, fibers slackening as if drenched in invisible heat. His fingers lose structure, elongating unnaturally, skin sagging like soft wax. The dog remains untouched, alert and still in his arms, even as the young man’s features begin to dissolve at a steady, medium pace. His nose and cheeks soften, sliding slowly down his face, eyelids folding over as tissue and muscle detach from bone. The tie loosens as the neck beneath it deforms, exposing the top of the spinal column. The flesh around the jaw collapses next, baring teeth that remain embedded in a disintegrating mandible.
The torso and limbs follow: arms melting in thick drips of flesh and fabric, sleeves falling into puddles around the elbows, then the knees soften and buckle as the shins and calves slump into shapeless mass. His shoes stay firmly planted as his body liquefies above them, exposing long white bones emerging from the slush of skin, clothing, and tissue. Throughout, the dog gently hops down unharmed, walking out of frame. By the end, the young man is reduced to a skeleton still partially slick with muscle and sinew, surrounded by remnants of cotton, wool, leather — all fused into the puddle beneath him. The final image holds just a moment: bones, socks, shoes, and a lingering sense of stillness, as if gravity itself has erased him.
