somatotopic landscapes

        


somatotopy describes areas of the body where the body as a whole is reflected. this work is about the relation of our body as a cartographic representation of the whole organism we inhabit. capturing the notion of caring while playing with the symbolism of teeth, I translated somatotopy to the wider body of earth, seeing us humans as a somatotopic area, reflecting our interrelation of our small to the extended body.
