About the work

The Philippines: Fragility (2023) is part of Linda Burris Webster's Cartographica series, in which maps are transformed into intricate sculptural forms before being photographed.

The map of the Philippines is folded into delicate, sweeping forms, creating a composition that appears both beautiful and precarious. Its fragile construction can be seen as a reflection of the vulnerability of this island nation, frequently exposed to powerful typhoons, rising seas and the wider consequences of environmental change.

Through the contrast between the strength of the sculptural form and the delicacy of the material, the work invites us to consider the relationship between people, place and the forces that shape their lives.
