Everything started with something as small as this
My first globe that I still have. I do not remember if it belonged to an old pencil sharpener, or if it was always that way; free of bow and base. Could that explain its survival until today?
As small as I used to be...
After thay, I discovered maps
Maps are windows to the unknown: they allow us to see places far away in space and time. Each map, as a representation of "the reality" have their own significations and codes. Maps not only guide us but also tell us stories. They talk about time: it is not coincidence thay every adventure has its beginning on the surface of a map.
After thet, spheres...
Later, I begun so see how certain map projections are able to give life to new worlds, each unique and beatiful. I managed to get the globe I always wanted when I was a kid, but never had, but finally I got it!
(And now, as I am older, I pretend to be a kid again!)
Meanwhile, I became a graphic designer!
Cartography makes us familiar what is elusive to direct experience
