The print was placed against the inside wall of the jar and remained fully submerged in Ilm River water. The following videos document the condition of the image, water and sediment after one week. So far, the visible changes seem to come mainly from the action of the water and the degradation of the paper. There is little clearly visible biological activity at this stage.[[File:Sample Observation.mov|thumb|Closed-jar immersion test|center]]Closed-jar immersion test - Closer look[[File:Sample Observation - Closer look.mov|thumb|center]] | The print was placed against the inside wall of the jar and remained fully submerged in Ilm River water.

Both samples are still being observed. I will continue documenting their changes through photographs and video and add further material to this page.<blockquote>'''Image source:''' Amnesty International, ''Blood-Soaked Secrets: Why Iran’s 1988 Prison Massacres Are Ongoing Crimes Against Humanity''.

== Thirty-Day Update == | |||
The first samples were kept under the same conditions and documented again after 30 days. The following comparisons show the transformation of the complete image and a detail from the same area on Day 1, Day 7 and Day 30. | |||
=== Shallow Sample === | |||
The first slide shows the complete sample over the three stages. The second slide focuses on the same detail in order to make the smaller changes more visible. | |||
Most of the visible transformation happened during the first week. By Day 30, the image had become slightly lighter and more uneven, with further loss of contrast and changes to the surface of the paper. The later changes were slower and less dramatic, but the faces remained clearly recognizable. | |||

== Closed Jar Sample == | |||
The glass jar experiment was continued without changing the original setup. The print remained fully submerged in the same Ilm river water, and the jar stayed closed. | |||
The following video documents the sample after 30 days. The transformation remained gradual. The image was still visible through the water and glass, while sediment and prolonged contact with the water continued to affect the paper. As in the earlier stage, there was little clearly visible biological activity; the changes appeared to result mainly from immersion and material degradation. | |||
