► Coal looks like the night
Coal looks like the night, it’s dark, shiny and it contains an energy that goes back thousands of years.
This mapping creation is a poetic, fantastical vision of the path that symbolically links night and coal. It’s a hymn to the passage of time, to the vaults that form the sky and to those that dig beneath our feet.
