Two girls, Lena (10, light brown braided hair, curious eyes, beige wool jacket) crouches left foreground holding a corked glass jar to her chest as if trapping a whisper; Mira (10, black bob, focused, dark green dust-streaked sweater) stands right behind her with her palm on a vibrating metal bell. Inside a cavity carved in an old stone wall with massive grey pillars, dusty floor and worn circles, a pile of dark metal bells sits center, ivy and moss at the entrance, warm dim light from a narrow opening. They are capturing frightening sounds in jars: stylized colored sound waves emanate from the bells toward the jars; the mood is tense but brave, with deep shadows and bright color accents on the jars and clothes.
