I did not attend Professor Greta Patzke ’s recent lecture on artificial photosynthesis  as a scientist. My presence in the room was that of a systems thinker — someone who moves between disciplines, between art and analysis, between the symbolic and the structural. The title — Welche Zukunftsfragen löst die künstliche Photosynthese?  — translated to Which future questions does artificial photosynthesis solve?  But what it really asked, at least to me, was something deeper: what does it mean...

It was not an academic seminar, nor a corporate showcase, but something in between: a dialogue between entrepreneurs, financiers, policymakers, and diaspora leaders about what it really takes to build self-determined futures.

To go beyond the frame is to recognize that the power of storytelling lies not only in what is shown, but in what is left unsaid — in the silences that demand to be heard.
