for the paths sometimes, always, and never taken

Accordion maps overflowing in car glove boxes may be a thing of the past, but the roads they represented and the destinations they led us too are still there. Albeit some only exist in memory.

Each of these maps borrow their color from different images and destinations coinciding with their titles. The flexibility and familiarity of the folding accordion book mixes nostalgia with modernity and invites the viewer to choose their own path.
