Marks That Endure

Start with the ground

The page keeps a dark olive stone field, so every ochre mark reads as a fresh cut.

Dotted borders and pecked strokes preserve the hand pressure instead of polishing it away.

Read scenes in rows

Each claim sits in a horizontal register, like a narrative band cut across the rock face.

Leave silence around evidence

Measured spacing gives the marks air, with lichen-muted captions kept below the voice.
