In this portrait-oriented map, Carla Daly reimagines the Florida peninsula as a vibrant tapestry of regional symbols. The composition balances educational detail with a lighthearted aesthetic, using distinct illustrations to mark the diverse characteristics of the Sunshine State from the panhandle down to the keys. Each icon serves as a visual landmark, inviting the eye to wander across the coastline and through the interior.

The vertical format emphasizes the long, tapering shape of the landmass, surrounded by the blue expanses of the Atlantic and the Gulf. By stripping away dense cartographic data in favor of bold shapes and clear labeling, Daly creates a piece that functions as both a decorative wall feature and a foundational tool for spatial learning. The work prioritizes a sense of wonder and clarity, making the vastness of a state feel intimate and navigable.
