This monumental collectible textile art piece repurposes a vintage, worn school map of the European continent on canvas, leveraging the black rubber substrate's cracked, sun-dried skin-like texture as a visual laboratory for dense linear exploration. Seggiaro painstakingly re-architects the geographical canvas through a meticulous, hand-executed embroidery intervention. The composition features a hypnotic constellation of large, interconnected geometric spheres and molecular wireframes that sweep across the boundaries, transitioning dynamically from a pure white thread matrix in the Atlantic margins into warm yellow, ochre, and deep gold fiber vectors over the mainland texturing.
 
In the mid-2000s, Ana Seggiaro made her first small-scale collage works on paper. Starting from pages of books, maps, and scores, she carries out the first series intervened through embroidery and painting. In these works she finds the universe of artographies, using maps as supports for the construction of imaginary geographies. This search leads her to tackle larger works. Thus, she recovers old school maps worn by use, where the black rubber acquires a broken texture, generating a topography like that of skin dried by the sun. She intervenes in these maps with abstract figures and images of paper airplanes that fly over unknown landscapes.
