For my space, I chose to produce a map in the form of a treasure map. Although the original and plain outline of my room exists within it, I felt as though creating an outline in this way might better present to the audience the feeling or atmosphere presented by the space that—from the allotted, general bird’s-eye view—may not otherwise be conveyed. In short, there is very little that occurs in my room by itself. As depicted, in it resides a simple bed, desk, and chair. To me, it provides a solitary area wherein I can escape from my surroundings and relax. By rendering it within the form of a treasure map, the juxtaposition of the simplicity of my space contrasts with that of the chaos of the surrounding area. The other areas of the apartment (e.g. the bathroom, the kitchen, etc.) are presented in the forms of islands because they’re unincorporated in the space that I chose to observe—they’re separate entities that, whilst they reside in the surrounding area, don’t necessarily pertain to my space. The “x” on the map leads to the bed because it serves in the primary purpose of the room: to relax, and I felt as though this was the best method to convey that to the audience.
