An order to explore my new surroundings upon moving to a different continent, I began taking long walks each morning, and I formed a habit out of picking up tiny "treasures": bits of nature that stuck out in an otherwise concrete jungle. As I collected these small organic tokens, I began drawing a map to each one. In a way, marking down these ephemeral finds on the streets of Paris was a means of learning my way around the city.
Perhaps useless as functional objects, these maps are nonetheless an indelible record of the process of discovery.
