Untitled, 2012

When we found maps from the fifties, which someone forgot and left to collect dust, I decided to use them. Enjoying the yellow paper made me choose a place on the map and turn it into a drawing.

I have never been to the Kastav forest before. Seen from above, it looks so beautiful and big. What would it look like to be right in front of it? To observe the trees before heading to the top?
