How to navigate around this exposition:

 

This exposition is an interactive, multi-modal presentation that includes audio, video, photographs (both single images and slideshows), and document files distributed across several pages. These pages can be directly accessed through the “↓CONTENTS” menu located on the left side of the top navigation bar, but indirectally accessed by following the photo and text links. Next to it is the “↓NAVIGATION” tool which provides a graphical overview of the entire page, displaying a map of all media elements in their spatial arrangement. By clicking within this map, readers can jump directly to specific sections, enabling quick orientation and efficient movement through the material.

Elements enclosed in yellow boxes and indicated by arrows mark essential material. These components contain the most critical and concentrated information and should be prioritised by examiners, as they offer the clearest representation of the core findings of my research. For longer media items (exceeding approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds), examiners are not expected to view or listen to the entirety; instead, attending to the opening section or briefly skimming through the material will be sufficient.
