Symbol Mapping

Cultures are influenced by their environment. Weather, vegetation, topography, animals and materials have a great impact.
Still, there are structures you'll find everywhere, just the form has slightly changed. For instance each country has its cities, however
the ground plans are different – depending on the history of the
town and the country. Another example is the maple tree. We’ll find maple trees in Europe, Asia and America, however, the form of the leaves vary from place to place.
Moreover I used symbols from a world atlas to describe different continents and countries. I mixed them all up and created world
maps which reflect the cultural particularities and the global links.
