## About this style

Translucent dyed-hide planes connect through fine perforations and overlaps, with warm backlight revealing grain and dark layered edges. Thickness and cutouts organize the depth of a flat stage.

Shadow puppets combine transmitted light, cut openings and overlapping pieces.

A darker layered elbow beside warm light through small holes can suggest an articulated puppet behind a screen.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Cut-out silhouettes emphasize profiles, jointed gestures and decorative clothing openings.

- **Landscape**: Flat scenic layers contrast dark outlines with light passing through cut-outs.

- **Object**: Thin object silhouettes use perforated ornament instead of surface texture.

**Subjects**: Choose side-on gestures, animals, trees or distinctive objects with little silhouette overlap.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Translate existing forms into a backlit dyed-leather shadow tableau. Precisely cut and pierce thin leather color planes, joining the continuous structure through overlapping edges and small articulated connections. Warm backlight passes through translucent red, ochre, green and dark brown, deepening shadows at overlaps. Clearly show fine apertures, uneven dye absorption and subtle leather grain. Express every detail through cuts, thickness and the relationships of transmitted light.
