There is some lovely writing here. The combination of orchestral and instrumental textures work nicely, and the sense of cohesiveness across the OST is very strong. Some very effective use of the compositional material, great work :)

Description
I composed the soundtrack inspired by both the image and the text. The game I imagined scoring could be a metroidvania but without combat phases. It could be a virtual experience dedicated to appreciating the plot or the game’s setting (all colored in the tones of the image, as if it were a wheat field where aquatic animals and soap bubbles wander), trying to uncover the secrets of an unknown world. This world could represent the inner world of the girl seen in the image, who is trying to reconnect with a long-forgotten figure. Thanks to the image, I envisioned platform sections on the bubbles and interactive scenes with aquatic animals suspended in the air as if they were flying.
With the music, I wanted to represent the beginning of the game (Start), where the player starts walking and learning the controls, arriving in a suggestive and wonderful place with a platform part (Arise), a part where the player comes into contact with someone (or something) that reveals more about their origins or some kind of secret (perhaps connected to the human figure formed by a bubble in the image), which always concludes with a platform part (Rebirth), and finally a more challenging platform part (Ingame).
As a DAW, I used Reaper. Regarding the instruments, I used synths and pads as harmonic background and bass, some vocals recorded by me, as well as a clarinet that I modified afterward. I also used a violin, both pizzicato and long (VST), Asian bells, and bongos (VST).

How does it fit the theme?
I believe I managed to color my music like the image.
