Narrating a space with personal memories

Abstract

This thesis seeks to answer how to narrate a space with personal memories through map art. To achieve this, I designed an art project by using the theoretical and artistic approaches of map art, space, and memory. In the course of the project, illustration is applied as a methodology to demonstrate how mapping can be used to bring depth and meaning to spaces by portraying memories through storytelling and imagination. As an outcome, the project not only stands at the crossroads between cartography and art by contributing to the field of deep map upon adopting illustrations of personal memories as data, it also allows the audience to explore a given space from the perspective of the artist her/himself.
