Young man whose shadow on the wall is his mother touching his head

The backdrop is a deep navy studio wall and floor, with a soft spotlight glowing behind the subject and fading to dark at the edges. A smiling man in a white shirt and black trousers is lit from the front-left. The main idea is his cast shadow, which becomes a silhouette of a woman with her hair in a bun, lovingly placing her hand on his head. The mood is cinematic and moody, with a subtle floor reflection.

Design an original Mother's Day Instagram post for my brand, following the art direction below. It describes a reference design in full, so you don't need to see the reference.

My brand: [my brand], [what my business sells].
Language for any text on the design: English.
Size: 1080 × 1350 px (Instagram portrait).

Art direction to follow:
- The idea: Young man whose shadow on the wall is his mother touching his head.
- Look and feel: The backdrop is a deep navy studio wall and floor, with a soft spotlight glowing behind the subject and fading to dark at the edges. A smiling man in a white shirt and black trousers is lit from the front-left. The main idea is his cast shadow, which becomes a silhouette of a woman with her hair in a bun, lovingly placing her hand on his head. The mood is cinematic and moody, with a subtle floor reflection.
- Layout: The man stands at lower right. A large shadow of a woman is cast on the left and centre wall, with her hand reaching to his head. A left-aligned quote block with quote marks, a short rule and a bold greeting sits over the shadow's lower half.
- Typography: Clean humanist sans: light-weight white for the quote, bold white sans for the greeting, and large grey quotation marks.
- Colours: #091a31, #1a3355, #28456d, #3e5a82, #d2d1d8 (background #091a31, text #d2d1d8, accent #28456d).

- Reference image, only if you can open it: https://media.uidiscovery.com/captures/creatives/111745634500910156-fd34248a11ee.png (if you can't, carry on from these notes; don't ask me for it).

Rules:
- Build the same kind of idea around [my brand]: make my product or service the hero, the way the reference does. Don't copy its artwork, people, products, logo or text.
- Leave a clean space for my logo. Never invent a logo, prices, phone numbers or claims.
- One strong idea, few words, and text large enough to read on a phone.

Before you design, ask me for my brand name and what my business sells. Then create the image.
