Competition 3: Traces of Time

Whether the scattered silent coughs and the slow walk rich in memory, or the dress of a late grandma. Whether building a road between fighting parties, micro-events reflecting the visible, or a deep dive into the roots of long-gone events with a light-producing fish; all that, is nothing but following the traces of time.
