Waterways Map of Israel / Palestine

arnavlavan (55)in #art • 6 years ago (edited)

I am taking a university class on Digital Humanities, and we are learning to use the QGIS open source software, which is a mapping tool. Started playing a bit with colors and layers, and I found the result I got from this waterways map really touched me emotionally. I don't wish to explain why in words, I guess it speaks to the experience of someone who was born and raised in Israel on the verge of the Millennium.

So apparently geography can become political art, it is all in the eye (and mind, and heart – ) of the beholder.

Thanks for you kind words :). I doubt that I can create something meaningful with other countries, as I live in Israel and the thing meant something for me only because of my personal history.

You have presented an amazing art. Presenting a map in a completely different way, the creativity that you introduced is truly unique. I'm fascinated by seeing such a wonderful job. Hopefully others will love it. Thanks sir.

Thanks for the info, it was actually exactly 50$ as anyone can see on my wallet page, and not over 50$ as you wrote, though... @bycoleman is there a chance you might wanna fix this inaccuracy?
