Your journey might begin with these ideas.

Stepping stones. Places to start from, but not the final destinations, that’s somewhere else.

Geological faults, gemstone inclusions...

Forest fires, landslips, quarries, gorges, ruins, urban decay...

Stains, cracks, blots, accidents, spills, rips, patches...

Make-up, disguises, masks, clothing, artificial fur, plastic surgery...

Politics, deceit, trickery, concealment...

Selective breeding, genetic modification, cloning...

Shows, competition, pageants...

Mutation, bacteria, viruses, scars...

Families, relationships, communities...

The Artists ask all manner of questions. Some questions match your exam titles.
