WHO GETS
REMEMBERED?
Scattered Thrones follows the traces left behind when power changes hands and somebody decides which names survive the catalog. The series looks beyond pageantry to the contested choices, alliances, contradictions, and consequences that made these figures human.
The goal is not to manufacture flawless ancestors. It is to restore dimension. A throne can be political, spiritual, intellectual, artistic, or stolen. The scatter is part of the evidence.
THEY DID NOT
DISAPPEAR.
THEY WERE FILED AWAY.
