Andrialavidrazana’s recent series, Figures, is one of her most conceptually and contextually complex works. She takes maps as the starting point to discuss the many permutations of globalization in the 19th century. Employing a methodology that combines photography, collage, drawing and text. This results in a pictorial narrative of movement, space and connectivity. Through the process of collecting, collating and repurposing objects, symbols, images and writing the work speaks to our identities as individuals but also to the process of nation building.
