Create a premium 3D paper-cut diorama inspired by the Instagram logo, with an iconic rounded-square frame and central circular lens forming the composition. Feature a simplified, uncluttered miniature representation of ${city}, showcasing only 3–6 of its most recognizable landmarks, architectural icons, and cultural elements. Arrange them harmoniously with generous negative space for a clean, elegant composition.

Inside the central circular opening, display a simplified scenic view of ${city}, such as a distant skyline, coastline, mountain, temple, bridge, monument, or famous landscape. Use soft atmospheric depth rather than excessive detail.

Place a cute handcrafted traveler doll sitting on the top-left edge of the frame, wearing casual travel clothing and a woven hat, holding a camera, with a small backpack beside them. Make the character resemble a knitted or clay miniature toy, with expressive eyes and handcrafted textures.

Add subtle local details around the landmarks, such as flowering trees, cafés, lanterns, cobblestone paths, street lamps, gardens, or seasonal vegetation. Keep the layout balanced and minimal. At the bottom, include an elegant engraved plaque displaying “${city}” in refined serif lettering with delicate decorative flourishes.

Color palette: warm pastels including cream, ivory, blush pink, peach, dusty rose, coral, terracotta, muted lavender, warm beige, soft taupe, honey brown, muted olive, sage green, and gentle slate gray. Avoid highly saturated or neon colors. Use smooth tonal transitions, soft gradients, and harmonious color relationships.

Lighting and materials: soft warm ambient lighting, subtle golden-hour glow, realistic layered cardstock textures, premium paper craftsmanship, delicate shadows between layers, rounded edges, miniature architectural precision, shallow depth of field, and a cozy travel-souvenir aesthetic.

Style: elegant, clean, simplified, uncluttered, premium collectible design, luxury travel keepsake, centered symmetrical composition, high-quality 3D paper sculpture, photorealistic render, Octane render, ultra-detailed, 8K, Instagram-inspired visual identity. No extra text, no watermarks, and no people other than the miniature traveler. Aspect ratio 4:5.
