Bird bath (tbc)
Known commonly and currently as The Great Hall, but it is also called by other names. 'The front gate', something about —separating and returning —remembering and navigating, a way back while moving forward—familiar yet different—connections—observing and being observed—a journey—passing through a corridor of things, entities and memories in a line... The Great Hall ?
