A close-up on the weathered stone face of a woman whose features are cracked and lifeless. The stiff stone begins to soften, the cracks fade, and warm, smooth skin appears. Her dull, lifeless eye regains its vibrant color, and the stone peels away to reveal delicate human eyelashes that flutter when she blinks. Her expression changes from frozen sadness to bewildered relief as the transformation spreads. Stony tears turn into warm drops that run down her cheeks. The soft light highlights the last remnants of the dissolving stone, leaving her fully alive and her face beaming with renewed vitality and emotion. ==
