Picturing Places

Why minimalist city wallpapers stay with us

A reflection on city maps, the places we remember, and artwork for everyday life.

Places matter long after we leave them.

Picturing Places is building a quieter way to keep those places close: not as screenshots or souvenirs, but as visual objects worth living with.

A familiar curve in a river or the shape of a neighbourhood can bring a place back to us. A simple map leaves room for those personal associations, whether it sits on a screen or hangs on a wall.
