MONOLITH

This project intentionally has no gallery array. The site should render the hero section, the content section with the info grid, the body paragraphs, and the RandomNextProject footer — but the ProjectGallery component should not render at all since the gallery array is empty.

The hero image alone must carry the entire visual weight of the project. This tests whether a powerful single photograph is sufficient as a standalone presentation — and whether the site handles the missing gallery section gracefully without layout gaps or broken component calls.

Monolith is a single habitable tower of stacked basalt, rising 11 metres from the desert floor. There are no windows. Light enters through a single oculus at the summit, tracing a slow ellipse across the interior walls over the course of each day.

The inhabitant tracks time not by clock but by the movement of light. The architecture does not explain itself. It simply stands.
