Four of the 18 sections of the globe as described by lines of longitude and latitude form a ‘pod’ shape. Work based on the pod explores a sense of place and the connection with self. Sections alluding to our journeys (both internal and external) and place in the world are split, divided, and presented in multiples to extend the physical references to social and cultural connections.
