Every map is a system of power. Color, shape and form, when assembled and accepted, lay claim to lands at the cost of lives. Sets of lines authored and edited narrate false histories of freedom.

Seemingly interconnected forms are in reality a projection of remains: sharp glass fragments tenuously supported only by one another.
