About this work

This image shows a collage-style print with rough, uneven edges. A large beige map of Europe sits in the center, outlined in black. Around it, there are small squares of textured paper, some with faded colors like blue and brown. A few patterned fabric scraps peek out from the sides, and the whole thing looks like it’s made from glued-together bits. The map has a date stamp in the top corner—"06.5.92"—which might hint at when this was made. The mix of materials and rough edges gives it a handmade, slightly messy feel. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
