Abstract
Throughout history, the desire to document happenings and events has been an integral cornerstone in humankind’s advancement to acknowledge, understand, and preserve the very fiber of what the eye beholds, which in turn contributes to our ultimate survival and existence. This fiber remains intertwined between our past and present, with the present allowing our future selves to grow and nurture, learning from what from past knowledge has been acquired.
