# Image credits & licences: centaur.africa v2 prototype

Every image is a real public-domain or CC0 artwork or photograph. There is no AI-generated imagery.
The collages were built by hand in CSS: flat colour blocks, torn-paper edges (CSS clip-path), a paper texture and thin SVG construction lines, layered with fragments of the works below.
Sculpture cut-outs: the figure was separated from its museum-photo background with rembg (an image segmentation model). It only removes background pixels and generates nothing.
Barend's original prototype collage (embedded in his HTML) was not used. Every collage here was rebuilt from the sources below.
