For these works I seamlessly blend the craftsmanship of traditional surveying and hand-drawn maps with the prowess of modern technology. The heart of these artworks lies in the fusion of tradition and innovation. I start with digitized, georeferenced historical maps, each stroke and contour a testament to the artistry of mapmaking. To breathe new life into these historical gems, I acquire contemporary satellite-based digital elevation models, meticulously aligning them with the original map layout. I calculate the average cast shadow for a specific time period. The resulting shadow map dances with the historical map, creating a mesmerizing 3D effect. The hand-drawn features come to life, seamlessly following the terrain's original contours where history stands still and diverging where time has left its mark. Through these artworks, my aim is to honor the craftsmanship of the original mapmakers. By merging traditional mastery with cutting-edge technology, I shine a new light on these historical works, offering a fresh perspective that's as visually appealing as it is thought-provoking. The 3D effect becomes a bridge between eras, inviting you to witness the landscape transformations through the lens of both past and present.
