Map Projections: The Egg 1976

"Map Projections: The Egg" is a 1976 print by Agnes Denes that depicts the globe in the shape of an egg, with the North American continent centered within a gridded system. The work is a minimalist rendering of a traditional map, highlighting the complex and often distorted ways that we visualize our planet. This artistic concept of the globe, though not geographically accurate, invites viewers to reconsider our perception of Earth and its various projections.
