A private message. A public inheritance.
A message about a son’s future unfolds against monumental architecture, then moves toward a phone and a face. The contrast brings a private appeal into contact with the institutions and histories surrounding it.
This short proof of concept introduces the project’s atmosphere and central tension: what someone is prepared to justify in the name of protecting the people and place they love.
