The artwork, titled “Book of Travels,” was created by the artist Zarina in 2012.
The artwork is a visually engaging piece presented in a concertina format, creating an accordion-like structure of folded pages. It appears to be composed of textured paper with intricate line work running across its surface. The lines, predominantly in black ink, traverse the unfolded pages, creating abstract, geometric shapes and interconnected paths. The minimalistic approach, combined with the use of negative space, evokes a sense of movement and journey, fitting the title “Book of Travels.” The overall aesthetic is one of simplicity yet profound depth, inviting the viewer to ponder the mapped lines and the stories they might represent.
