A Journey of Perspective and Discovery

by Jan Keteleer

This collage is my way of celebrating the spirit of exploration and showing how travel has a huge impact on us.At the heart of the piece is the outline of a woman, representing all of us as tourists – a universal figure. She's standing against a blank white background, which represents endless possibilities, and her perspective is as vibrant as the world itself. She's got yellow and red glasses on, and it looks like she's got two different views in her eyes, showing how seeing the world can make you feel different.Her body is like a bag for her adventures, with bits of her travels in it, like souvenirs and memories. It's like an aeroplane or a boat is going up in the sky behind her, showing that she's always moving and wants to see more. And in the sky, there are two clouds and some birds, which represent the freedom and serendipity of travel.This piece was inspired by the way travel lets us see not just the world, but also ourselves, in a new way.
