Bethlehem rises behind the concrete separation wall, with dense buildings extending across the hillside.

Bethlehem is read through the infrastructure around it.

The wall constrains the city’s visual and physical horizon. The image does not stand alone: its focus-area entry joins field photography to structured sources, mapped investigation sites, and the wider account of restricted urban development.

Two evidence systems, two starting points.

The West Bank work begins with direct field documentation and place records. The Armenia–Azerbaijan pilot begins with contested claims, source locators, legal and policy documents, viewpoints, and audit states. Both preserve provenance, but they do not pretend that photography and politically contested evidence require the same method.

Photography is one layer of the atlas.

The production code is a Nuxt 4 exhibition. A generated manifest normalizes image variants; typed focus areas connect each public frame to investigation sites, references, events, and spatial data.
