How this image was made

Generated with Nano Banana from this prompt:

A wide 16:9 cinematic image of a wheat field near Arles in Provence in 1888, cypresses and a stone farmhouse, reimagined in a far future in the style of kintsugi. In the middle third of the frame a colossal sunflower made of glazed ceramic is rising back up from the ground where it had fallen and shattered: its tall stem stands upright again, and its broken pieces lift from the wheat and fit back together in mid-air, every fracture sealed with seams of glowing gold. The great round seed head at the centre of the flower is a smooth disc of deep black glaze, so the centre of the picture stays dark and calm, ringed by ochre petals veined with gold. A few last shards still float up toward it from the wheat at the bottom of the frame, where a small anonymous figure stands waist-deep, seen from behind, watching. The outer thirds hold the wind-bent cypresses under a deep blue dusk. Photorealistic, finely detailed, warm metallic light along the seams, wide-angle lens from a low viewpoint. No text, letters, signage or typography anywhere in the image.
