Untitled
1990

A world map serves as the backdrop for an overlay of black silhouettes depicting two people in a close embrace, with their facial features and hands highlighted in white lines. The map includes country borders, ocean names, and a compass rose, while the silhouettes add an artistic, human element to the geographic representation.
