Jorges Borges wrote a short story about the relationship between map and territory in 1946. After studying his text as a metaphorical ‘empire’, I created my own interpretation of an empire. This empire features the rise of the Tyrannosaurus as it is reduced to the modern day chicken. I chose the T-Rex because it is such a notable dinosaur that reached a critical point, but now it has fallen drastically in size and power. (Designed and Illustrated by Audrey Nguyen)
