Nautical charts
A conceptual map to navigate cognitive space.
The Fix is no longer a certainty.
Coordinates bend to imagination and fill the void of my dependencies.
There are no harbors, lighthouses, and walls sheltering from the storm.
I stop and let everything flow like waves in the sea.
The magical intersection of meridians and parallels is already a story to tell.
I mark a point with the compass on the chart.
I circle the emerging rocks and get lost in the depths of a coast yet to be discovered.
Who knows how ancient navigators felt sailing unknown seas into new worlds.
Open studio by Alessandra Chicarella: imaginary nautical charts, mixed media on canvas.
