SCENES OF THOUGHT

Watch ideas move through time and place.

Fourteen questions become fourteen source-backed scenes across 10 places. Play the route, pause on a question, and enter the work behind it.

This is a curated camera route, not a claim of linear progress or direct influence. The moving line shows the viewer’s itinerary only.

Visual note: AI-assisted editorial illustration for imaginative orientation; not a historical photograph or documentary reconstruction.
