World Map in Wax Patchwork - São Tomé

Invited by the Alliance Française of São Tomé (Gulf of Guinea), I collaborated with local seamstresses and embroiderers. They assemble pieces of wax fabric into precious re-embroidered patchwork.

This map uses Fuller's projection, which represents the Earth on an unfolded polyhedron, offering an alternative vision of the world.

Collaboration with Judith Sylva, Lauriane Chanel and the Alliance Française team of São Tomé.
