Project title
Diary of Light
Project description

I am intrigued by the history and mystery of the Pantheon. Through research and ritual, I will revisit its mysterious origins. I plan to record the daily shifting of light through the giant occulus—a hole to the sky—observing this movement that has remained the same since ancient times. I will make a book depicting my observations—a means of translating the past to the present—using a pinhole camera as well as drawings and painting.
