The result is a picture of the
resemblance between the anatomy and the landscape.

a combination between satellite photos, anatomy models and historic tales
An earlier map, where the character is
more defined, is represented below.
The correlation is so clear, that the
landscape can serve as a model for anatomy lessons. The face is the land

When drawing the lines exactly on a
physical map, the outcome is an 'embryonic' character. A free hand drawing can
show a more realistic character.
The face organs of the portrait appear
in an external appearance. The torso organs appear in their internal
appearance. This is in accord with the biblical meaning of the desert as a
place of inspiration and revelation, and the fertile land as a place where
moral laws come instead of the direct inspiration.
The face part of the portrait is

imagination and dynamic imagination intermingle, until the words become worn
out. The elongated form is a formal daring. In the formal daring, the dynamic
imagination regains its role as an inventor of shapes. The
The illustration below shows the
correlations between the body and the map.
Near every body organ appears the geographic
region name to which it is associated.

Here is an earlier drawing, with more
human characteristic lines. It illustrates the development of the portrait. With
more details the look becomes more Geographic.
