"People can see nothing around them that is not their own image; everything speaks to them of themselves. Their very landscape is animated. Obstacles were everywhere. And they were all interrelated, maintaining a unified reign of poverty."

– Guy Debord, quoting Karl Marx

Geography is about relationships

"One of the issues I have with some previous versions of the New York subway as an integral part of their lives in the city. There is a disconnection between many of the decisions they made and the reality of the subway. As a part of my design process, I rode the lines and exited the stations at every major intersection with wich I was unfamiliar. There is a strong relationship in New York between the aboveground and the belowground and since the subway riders don't cease to exist when they leave the subway, it's important for the map to express this relationship as clearly as possible. Otherwise, the result is an uncomfortable feeling of disorientation."

Where my heart is at?

My heart is not broken, it is just splitted up in too many pieces

I've been living in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) as an exchange student for almost 6 months that made a before an after in my life. I've been collaborating with ambitious people from all over the world and taking part in some of the craziest and amaziest projects ever, keeping on working and achieving unexpected great results. My knowledge has definitely grown up in every field of my learning process; a level up in my skills on visual communication and a step forward to my experience with human relationships.

Therefore, I've realized that I totally lost my sense of being part of only a territory. Surely, I know where my passport says I am: Barcelona, a place where I've been living 21 years of my life, a place that I will never ever regret but now it's time to figure out what can I give, share and achieve with the rest of the world (where I am also from).

Let's keep on walking
