Leaf Carving Portrait Art — Handmade Negative-Space Leaf Photo Prompt

A photorealistic 4K square image of traditional handmade leaf carving art. The subject is a single large bodhi or peepal leaf, held by hand against a plain sky background. The leaf is brownish-green with visible veins and organic imperfections. Onto this leaf, a portrait of the person in my attached selfie is carved out using simple negative-space cut-outs — no shading, no engraving, no printing. Only the key facial features (hair outline, beard or mustache if present, eyebrows, nose bridge, lips, jawline, and ears) are carved to create a bold, minimalist silhouette that still clearly resembles the subject. The carved areas appear as empty cut-outs, letting the sky show through. The edges of the cuts have a slightly uneven, handmade look, resembling authentic handcrafted leaf art. The final artwork is clean, minimal, and realistic — capturing the subject with just essential carved shapes, not detailed textures.
