Topophilia can be defined as the affective bond with one’s environment: a person’s mental, emotional, and cognitive ties to a place. The term comes from the Greek, topos “ place ” and philia, “ love of ”. The exhibition features a series of maps and textile mixed-media drawings and poetry inspired by this concept.
The second part of this series will be exhibited in October 2023 at Galleria Musta Napa.
