empty cup tipped to pour onto some saplings no water

A weathered, ceramic cup lying on its side, tipped over an array of delicate green saplings emerging from rich, dark soil. The cup's opening faces the young plants, but instead of water, only air and emptiness pour out, creating a poignant contrast between nurture and neglect. Soft, diffused lighting emphasizes the dry, parched environment, with subtle shadows cast by the cup and saplings.
