In this portrait-oriented map, Deificus utilizes a high-contrast palette to redefine the boundaries of Minneapolis. The city is not presented as a sprawling landscape, but as a deliberate, golden icon set against a deep, void-like background. Every arterial road and neighborhood boundary becomes a fine line of light, turning the familiar layout of the Twin Cities into a precious, intricate relic.

By isolating the city’s form, the artist invites a focused study of urban planning as a work of art. The vertical composition emphasizes the density and reach of the metropolitan area, capturing the tension between the rigid geometry of man-made structures and the organic flow of the land they occupy.
