In the anthill's bathroom.

Prompt snippets

The background of the scene is a bathroom built inside a large, hollowed-out anthill structure, with organically curved walls made of tiny branches and other natural anthill material. A circular opening in the ceiling lets in natural light, creating a soft glow on the surfaces. In the center stands an oval bathtub with a white interior and an ant bathing in it, resting on small rounded feet made of the same earthy material. To the right, a simple white sink is mounted atop a tapered pedestal that blends seamlessly into the earthen floor.
