Dioramas capture a moment in time in three dimensions. They are a staple of school history and art classes. Frequently, a shoe box is converted into a backdrop and hand-drawn characters (or for the really fancy effect, Lego pieces) are used to tell a story about some great event: The last spike, the first man on the moon, or, the beauty of the rain forest. Jeremiah's life could be captured in dioramas: one about his clothes, one about a local craftsman, and one about smashing stuff. All of them are about hope.
