Incandescence

The line is universal. The city reacts to its presence. It does not cross the monument: it reveals it.

Incandescence reveals a silent energy across ten cities and ten iconic monuments. A luminous line crosses each artwork, letting architecture emerge from matter and memory. Everything else disappears into darkness.
