Caitlin Levin and Henry Hargreaves, driven by a passion for travel, wanted to portray the world's complexities through its varied palates. Their maps are made using traditional food, and are a creative way of representing countries' cultural identities using local staples. This project reflects how food unites people and brings them together.
