Every controller you ever held — grown as a single branching tree. Atari at the root, modern dual-stick at the canopy, every lineage you cared about in between.
What you're looking at
A botanical-style illustration of gaming controllers as an evolutionary tree. Trunk: the Atari one-button. Branches: NES, SNES, Genesis, PlayStation, Xbox, modern. Drawn with the patience of a natural history plate — except the species are the things that lived in your hands.
Why this wall, why now
You're old enough now that the controllers feel like artifacts of your own growth. This print maps that growth visually. Not a timeline, not a poster of "games of the year" — a quiet, considered family tree of the hardware that raised you.
