3:4 Top–Bottom Samples

These four works reuse the same four independent sources as the 16:9 set above, now regenerated as complete 3:4 top–bottom canvases. The original photograph remains above; the lower design follows Panel 001's original brief. English copy is generated only from each photograph's content, mood, or implication, and every result was individually reviewed.
