Inside the Long Room of Trinity College Library, arched wooden ceilings stretch into darkness, lined with shelves of books. Centered beneath the vault, a suspended glowing globe of Earth hangs above the aisle. The lighting mixes warm golds and cool blues, casting a sense of reverence and wonder. This image is a meditation on scale — of knowledge, of time, of our planet. It stages the Earth not as distant object but sacred centerpiece, floating among centuries of human inquiry. Awe emerges from the juxtaposition: of what we’ve built, what we’ve learned, and what we still don’t know.
