Assignment

Illustrate a “state of the world” map.

Approach

Borders are in fact a fuzzy thing. This map, with country borders blending into one another, illustrates how politics, economic trade, media and the internet define international borders in broader and less “finite” terms. We dated the poster 2014 as a stamp of our times.
