This breathtaking mixed media fine art piece stands as a definitive visual statement within the highly celebrated Cartographies series by international contemporary artist Ana Seggiaro. The large scale composition masterfully relies on an old school map printed on a textured black canvas ground worn out by use to construct intricate imaginary geographies. Seggiaro subverts Africas cartography through a heavy tactile intervention of hands on embroidery mapping a dense patchwork matrix of multicolored concentric circles across the northern territories, interwoven with sharp red flight path lines and anchored by a prominent textured crimson vortex below.
 
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 cartographies, 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.
