The House of Wisdom

People come and go.
Generations pass.
Empires collapse.

And this room keeps doing exactly what it was meant to do…

From the top:

heaven opens.
Angels appear.
Then seals break.
Trumpets sound.
War rises.

— Until the last chapters of Revelation
explode in color.

Not “old”.
Not “historic”.
Engineered to outlive its makers.

— This façade was built to intimidate time,

"I died as a mineral and became a plant,
I died as a plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was man.

Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?"

Watch this 360° video I filmed of one of my favorite sculptures in Florence.

The hatred on Achilles’ face.
The fear, grief, and pain of Polyxena and her mother.
The precision of anatomy.
The weight and flow of the fabric.
