Forced Silence: Mute Portrait

Create a vertical editorial poster portrait of an anonymous young man seated front-facing in a chair against a smoky warm-gray studio background, centered from mid-thigh upward. He wears clean layered neutral knitwear: a taupe ribbed crewneck sweater over subtle beige-gray clothing, with relaxed trousers, soft folds, and muted fashion-magazine styling. His mouth, jaw, and throat are tightly wrapped in glossy translucent plastic film, catching highlights and compressing the neck as a visual metaphor for forced silence; cover the central face area with a flat opaque square censor block in a dark brown-to-warm-gray tone, while leaving the hair, ears, sweater, and wrapped neck visible. Surround him with exactly 13 empty translucent speech bubbles: 2 large partial bubbles cropped at the far left, 1 huge partial bubble cropped at the far right, 3 medium bubbles behind his head and shoulders, 5 small bubbles scattered across the upper and middle background, and 2 large hazy foreground bubbles partially cropped near the lower left and lower right. Add handwritten white text at the top reading SAY IT, with a thin crossed-out phrase directly below reading NEVER MIND. Add giant semi-transparent block letters across the bottom reading MUTE, spanning nearly the full width and partially covering the seated figure. Use soft diffused side lighting, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain, muted monochrome beige-gray palette, high-end conceptual photography style, restrained emotional mood, no extra text, no logos, no watermark.
