Description

The compass rose is one of the most enduring cartographic and nautical symbols.
It sets the world in order, helps to set the direction, and still leaves room for the
journey itself. Here, the classical geometry of the compass meets nautical detail and
the decorative language of old engravings, forming a composition about choosing
a course and holding it when the wind changes.
