Liminal Transit Aesthetic Portrait

A structured prompt for generating an ultra-wide angle (0.5x) portrait with a 'liminal transit' aesthetic. It features a 21-year-old trendsetter sitting on the cold floor of an empty subway station, emphasizing harsh fluorescent lighting, barrel distortion, and a cold, rebellious, raw smartphone dump style.
