Description Here's an art project I've been working on for the past two weeks for school. It's based off the Nietzsche quote "All great thoughts are inspired by walking" - I thought I would apply the quote to my recent trip to Egypt, which inspired a number of thoughts, indeed. The maps (world maps, Middle East map, and Cairo map) were collaged together onto a 48x48 inch canvas, with a continuous dotted line leading through the entire canvas, with little thoughts jotted down along the way. The pyramid in the centre was constructed from cardboard, with my Egypt pictures making up the bricks. And last but not least, the footprints were made by myself and a few friends.

It was a whole lot of fun to put together - not the type of thing I usually do.

Wow, you come up with the craziest things. Awesome. What was the project for, like art or social or english? Too bad I wasn't that creative in school, I probably would have had way more fun.

I'll be interested to see this in person. By the way, have you done your business cards yet?
