Botanical Collage with Roots

FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY. This is the exact man in the attached reference photo - not a lookalike. Copy the reference face feature by feature - hairline, hair, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, beard pattern and density, skin tone - every proportion identical, so anyone who knows him recognises him instantly; do not beautify, broaden or genericise. From the reference keep only the face and hair.

An editorial botanical collage on a warm parchment etched field - faint engraved banyan lines ghosted behind. MULTI-INSTANCE LAW: every instance in this image is the SAME person with the reference face identical in each - same features, same proportions every time, never different people - and every instance's face is fully visible, no flower or stem ever crossing a face, every face the brightest element of its zone. TWO instances of him: a large chest-up portrait upper-right in a black kurta, steady eyes, a quiet smile; a seated instance lower-left on a plain dark wooden stool in a cream shirt, the instance itself photo-true and never engraved, forearms on knees, hands relaxed and countable. Wild grasses, cotton pods and neem sprigs engraved and inked weave between them, never over any face; both faces to the viewer with clear catchlights, keyed by one soft light upper-left. THE TEXT: the word roots, spelled exactly r, o, o, t, s - every letter complete and correct - in a firm umber script, small, in the lower-right clear field, touching nothing, the only text anywhere in the image. Vertical 4:5. Only this one person, repeated. 

LIGHT LAW: the face is lit only by this scene's own light - same direction, same colour temperature, same softness, with shadows falling exactly as the environment dictates - never a pasted studio face.

FINAL CHECK: the face must match the attached reference exactly - if any feature differs, it is wrong; and the word roots must read letter-perfect, the only text anywhere.
