 The gawd damn Trolls got me!!!!
Luckily my general ragged looking self fit the mold of a someone who has been captive and unkept, lol.
Who knows how this will do I hope better than my Dichotomy photo.
Editing was pretty simple metered for the light in the window which had a sliver of light coming through, slight shadow/highlight to bring some light on my face and wall and darken the light in the window and then set a gradient map and faded back for a little color then took the bright blue in the window and desaturated slightly and darkened it. Crop USM twice on with a big radius for contrast and one small radius for details and a little NI.

That window looks like an iron. I'd love to see a face with some outline of an iron on it using makeup and a steeming iron near it.
Getting branded or tortured is quite a nightmare. Just an idea for a reatake.

really solid composition - the window works to provide some relief from the darkness within
