Art style: Modern 2D Illustration.
A conceptual dark void contains a frozen clock gear suspended beside a falling bar chart, both illuminated as if trapped in stopped time. Medium-wide composition from a slight low angle emphasizes the weight of timing and decline. Sparse rim lighting outlines the gear teeth and descending bars, while the background fades into deep shadow. The mood is abstract, analytical, and unsettling. Dominant palette: black, steel gray, icy blue, dim white, dark red.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Modern 2D Illustration" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Modern 2D Illustration". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Modern 2D Illustration" idiom, not in any other medium.
