Field notes
The page pairs a navigable reconstruction interface—marked “Drag to look” and “Scroll to move”—with an essay about the project. It describes photographs and video frames found online being used as spatial coordinates, with reconstruction precision depending on the available material; the virtual scenes are then translated through sketches into paintings. A content notice warns that the reconstruction includes imagery of destruction and the aftermath of war.
