There are many examples of assembling images into a grid format.
The form has the advantage of giving a viewer a container to look at many images.
It also has the possibility of allowing multiple WAYS to view the images.

The arrangement of images is a curatorial decision; how do you arrange the images spatially?
Choices are made that impact the way that a viewer moves through the experience and gathers meaning through juxtaposition.
Imagine hanging each image in a discrete frame. Placing it carefully to control visual impact and messaging.
