About this work

This image looks like a city map drawn by hand, but it’s also an artwork. You see a grid of buildings on the left, a wide river cutting through the middle, and open land with hills on the right. Tiny details fill the streets—tiny people, boats, and even text written in the margins. The whole thing is in black and white, with a slightly rough, sketchy look. The title at the top reads *"A Glass Tower,"* but the map itself doesn’t match any real city. The artists added extra layers, like handwritten notes and a dreamy, almost imaginary feel. It’s like a city someone made up. If you like this mix of maps and art, check out etching to see how it’s made.
