MODE
a way of being — a state, atmosphere, or emotional register
a method of creation — the rhythm or framework through which art takes shape
a mood, a tone — mise en scène, atmosphere, a film still
an arrangement — how elements align to form meaning
a style — not merely appearance, but the inner logic that gives form its life
a key or scale in music — structuring what is felt and heard, setting the emotional tenor
a lens — the perspective through which the world is framed and understood
a passage between worlds — shifting from the intangible to the material
