Past vs Present
The map and following photo studies was the result of experimental editing as I explored composite drawing technique. As I layered visual information in certain ways, I realised how the narrative of the past became more intriguing and easy to grasp when an old ortophoto and a present map was overlaid and aligned. You could see the exact changes of specific spots and see how the buildings, roads and waterfront was related to each other.
