The Travellers
On a black piece of paper in my classroom, there were photographs of important individuals, whether scientists or historical figures, related to what we were studying at the time. I discovered this portrait in an old book about past expeditions to the North and South poles. Unable to fathom the excruciating cold, as I live in a country with a tropical climate, I created this series of pieces as a warm refuge, where I imagine the travelers would rest and relax after enduring sub-zero temperatures. These pieces are displayed on a backdrop of black card, for although the travellers may now be forgotten, you could say that they still live on in the classroom in my memory.
