In 2022, we entered Dazu with responsibility for proposing a path to improve the overall visitor experience. The site offered expert interpretation, extraordinary art and abundant knowledge. Yet importance did not automatically become personal understanding.
The proposal asked how a visitor could move beyond dates and accepted descriptions toward the artistic and local transformation visible in the carvings.
The project did not end our enquiry. Repeated visits—and later encounters with related Buddhist imagery far from Chongqing—continued to sharpen the question. That longer realization belongs to a separate Auralize Story.
