We connect more deeply with the details than with the big picture because, as the hermeneutical circle suggests, each informs and enriches the other. Understanding comes from the interplay between the small and the vast, where the details breathe life into the whole.
The whole is understood by understanding its parts, and the parts are understood by seeing their place in the whole.
In the context of heritage interpretation or any complex concept, details are the building blocks that give form and substance to the larger narrative. By paying attention to these details, we allow meaning to develop and take a clear, tangible shape in our minds, making the overall experience or understanding richer and more complete..
